As a Cardinal fan, I can honestly say that it hurt greatly seeing Albert leave this way. At first I was bitter and upset that the front office didn't do more to retain him. But as mentioned before it would have strapped the Cardinals in the years to come.
On the personal side of it. I do hope that Albert is sitting in LA and wondering what if he had stayed. As I said before, first I was bitter, now I'm just dissapointed in him. I thought the guy was a selfless team player but he proved he is only in it for the money and recognition of becoming the home run king, maybe. It really got to me when my 9 year old asked me "Dad, why is Albert leaving".
