Pujols made DeWitt a LOT of money. Then he ended up making DeWitt look like the good guy when he bolted.
DeWitt has no reason at all to hold a grudge against Albert Pujols. Remember, DeWitt and crew bought the franchise for less than they sold the parking garages that came with it for. They got the Cardinals essentially for free.
They've turned an operating profit all but something like 3 years during his tenure and the merchandise sales alone of the playoff, pennant and WS runs are astounding.
And Pujols did all this at a well below market rate.
Pujols is probably still one of Dollar Bill's favorite people in the world. At the very least, he should be.
