MLB Analyst reports on Cardinals legend joining Jay-Z led agency - "Albert Pujols is leaving his longtime agent Dan Lozano and hiring Roc Nation"
The legendary Albert Pujols spent 22 years at the top of the major leagues before finally bidding adieu to the sport after playing his last game against the St. Louis Cardinals last season.
Pujols has had a decorated career in the top-flight league, involving two World Series titles, 11 All-Star selections, and three times as the National League MVP, to name a few amongst many.
As striking and dreamy as the Dominican's career was, he has been the face of the league for many years while playing for three different ball clubs in his 22-season career. His most decorative years came in the red and white jersey of the St. Louis Cardinals, where he made a name for himself and became an inspiration to many.
Albert Pujols is leaving his longtime agent Dan Lozano and hiring Roc Nation, whose sports division is headed by Brodie Van Wagenen. It’s a major coup for Roc Nation to join with the well respected alltime great to rep him in post playing career endeavors. @PujolsFive

Albert Pujols has remained loyal to his longtime agent, Dan Lozano, who throughout the years has helped the player secure commercials for FMCG products, sports contracts, and other things.
However, Pujols has now made the decision to work with the Roc Nation multi-representative consortium from New York, which was created and is still led by the iconic rapper, Jay Z.

Albert Pujols, the future HOF, is a True Legend of the Sport
Over the span of his career in the major leagues, Albert Pujols has created many memories for the fans of the sport, which will reverberate in the minds of many for years to come.
He joined a select group of MLB greats, including Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds, by becoming just the fourth player in major league history to hit 700 or more home runs.

In addition to taking home the Rookie of the Year Award in 2001, Albert Pujols finished fourth in the voting for the NL MVP. During his 11 seasons in St. Louis, he never fell outside the top 10 and won the award three times.
It was impossible to stop being amazed while watching the Pujols of amateur years. He was a player of subtlety; for example, he had a terrific way of telling Yadier Molina that the runner at first base was too far away, which was invisible to everyone else. He was also a part of big, dramatic moments.
