World Champion, Gold Glove winner, MVP, and you can now add US citizen to the long list of accomplishments in the young life of Albert Pujols. Pujols, who left the Dominican Republic when he was 16, was sworn in as an American citizen yesterday after passing his citizenship exam with a perfect score. The ceremony took place at the Eagleton County courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Pujols was the only new citizen being sworn in yesterday and was accompanied by his wife Deirdre and 12 family members. In six major league seasons Pujols has 250 homeruns, 758 RBIs and a .332 career batting average. He was the 2005 National League MVP and has finished second three times. Last season he hit 49 homers and drove in 137 runs while hitting .331. The first baseman won his first NL Gold Glove in 2006.
