Yeah, I know about Pujols homer against Lidge. If I can compare it to a different sporting event, it would be the Damian Lillard shot. It hurt but wasn't as big as initially thought. The Rockets probably weren't winning anything that year, and the Astros won that NLCS anyway. Lidge wasn't the only reason they lost that World Series. I respect Pujols' greatness, and he's one of the few (?) remaining players that faced the 2005 Astros. So it's like a link to the past that's still around the league. And ofc the 2011 World Series.
