When Stinky Met Pujols

Be honest: Your inner 8-year-old has been waiting for a moment very much like this ever since Albert Pujols cracked the majors in 2001.

A heartfelt thanks to readers Dan and Dave for the photograph, which is brilliantly composed. Note the felicitous arrangement of the young girl seated atop Stinky's shoulders, just upwind from our friend in the Pujols jersey.

I can think of only one thing that might've improved the photo, and it is this: someone in a Rollie Fingers throwback jersey.
