Thank you to all of my family, friends and fans for the support I’ve been given throughout my career. 3,000 hits was a special milestone for me and it is an honor to have shared it with all of you. May all glory be to God.
Lou Brock was one of the finest men I have ever known.
Coming into this league as a 21-year-old kid, Lou Brock was one of the first Hall-of-Fame players I had the privilege to meet. He told me I belonged here in the big-leagues.
On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to wish a special Happy Birthday to my daughter Bella. Twenty-three years ago, God blessed us all with this beautiful, sassy, loving, and talented young lady.
Congratulations to my little brother
@Yadimolina04
for passing me on the
@Cardinals
all-time hit list.
Your hard work and dedication has paid off! Not only are you one of the premier hitters in baseball, but you are the greatest catcher in the game today and future HOFer.
Congratulations to my brother, Ichiro, on an amazing career. Blessed to have witnessed such an incredible player. Best of luck in this next phase of your career.
First, I would like to thank God for the opportunity he has given me to play this game. While this is not how I thought my time in Anaheim would end, I am truly grateful for the memories and friendships that have been created over the past 10 years. Thank you to my teammates
It’s important to help young people build job skills and meet mentors—underserved youth especially.
That's why I'm teaming up with
@BankofAmerica
to recruit LA career mentors from all professions.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without a mentor to guide me.

My prayers go out to the family of Chris Duncan tonight. We had some great times as teammates in STL. He was a dear friend and a strong competitor on and off the field. If anyone could have beat this cancer, I always believed Dunc would. Rest in Peace, buddy; you will be missed.
It was a privilege to know and learn from one of baseball’s best, Red Schoendienst. Truly one of the greatest mentors in the game. He always made time for me and I will cherish the great times we spent together. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
My prayers go out the family of Roy Halladay. He was a fierce competitor between the lines and a considerate friend, husband, and father off the field. His wife Brandy and sons are in our hearts and prayers tonight.

Happy 15th birthday to my sweet daughter Sophia! You have grown into a very smart, beautiful, and responsible young lady! I am so proud of you! I love you very much! ❤️ Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳🎂🎉🎁
Wow what a loss for us all. I enjoyed the times I was able to connect with Kobe over the years. My prayers go out to his beautiful family. 🙏🏻

I would like to ask all of our friends, family and fans to please remember little Noah in your prayers.

, and all the people behind the scenes that deserve all of the credit, for recognizing my career today.
Watching these games bring back great memories of teams, and teammates I have been blessed to be a part of these many years.
Congratulations to my brother Big Papi on his election into Cooperstown today. Not only does he deserve to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but he is also one of the most talented, generous, and gifted mentors in the game of baseball today. Your name will forever be enshrined
Kids everywhere are dropping out of sports. We all need to remember what coaches and parents say to youth athletes, matters. Let’s give youth sports back to the kids.

Happy Birthday to my son AJ. You inspire me every day to be a better dad. I am so very proud of you and the man you have become. I wish you blessings as you continue to find God’s call and purpose for your life.

My prayers are with Jackie and the Brock family tonight.
Lou now enters into the glory of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. "Well done, thy good and faithful servant."
You will be missed, my brother. Until we meet again.
Thinking of our fans on Opening Day. Miss you and hope to see you at the Big A soon! Until then, please stay safe and healthy as we get through this together. God Bless.
So proud of our team Pujols Family Foundation for over seventeen years of dedicated service to the Down syndrome population and the impoverished of the Dominican Republic. Thank you ESPN for this honor tonight.
"The Pujols' have created an entire community for people, for families, with Down Syndrome. And now, I don't think you could stop it."
On the off-the-field legacy Albert Pujols left behind in St. Louis, as told by those most impacted by it:
1975 winner of the Roberto Clemente Award, Lou always understood his role in giving back to his community. He was a Godly man who lead his family with Christian principals and love.
He was a dear friend to me. I loved him very much.
Happy 11th birthday to my son, Ezra! I’m so proud of the young man you are becoming. You fill our lives with so much laughter and joy! Have a blessed and happy birthday! I love you, buddy.

and Angels fans everywhere for your support. You will always hold a special place in my heart. While everyone in the big leagues wants to compete every day, I understand roles do change and that is something I’ve accepted for the past couple of years.
He was always willing to help and to share his unlimited knowledge of hitting and the game of baseball with me as a young player. Most importantly, he showed us all how to live our lives on and off the field with character and integrity.
Felicidades, hermano! I am so proud of everything you have accomplished on and off the field! Such an incredible moment for you, your family and our country! God bless!
Every day, every single day he had a smile on his face, happiness in his heart & a genuine interest in making others feel the same. He treated everyone with respect, sincerity,and his wonderful gift of humor. Every day, every single day.

That winning expectation was contagious, though the organization and especially in the young players' hearts and minds he mentored and coached. I know. I was one of those young men.
Bob had a reputation for being intense and intimidating to his competitors, and that was true.
Congratulations to my friend Tim Mead on being named the President of the Hall of Fame. You have been the definition of kindness, humility, and warmth. I have been blessed to work with you and get to call you my friend. It will be hard not seeing you at The Big A and traveling
