From Memphis to Cooperstown: Pujols’ home run here still echoes decades later
A red stadium chair still sits alone in right field at AutoZone Park. Former Memphis Redbird Albert Pujols hit a 13th-inning walk-off home run to the chair in 2000, which gave the team its first Pacific Coast League championship. (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
The Redbirds will commemorate his walk-off home run in 2000 on Saturday, Sept. 10, with a replica of the chair where that Pujols home run landed.
