Albert Pujols/David FreeseActual Game Used Baseball. Ball actually used in "The Play" Famous -Chase Utley Out at 3rd!!! FC 6-3-5HERE IT IS FOLKS!!! THE PLAY THAT CHANGED THE MOMENTUM for the 2011 WORLD CHAMPIONS, St Louis Cardinals!! You are bidding on a MLB Authenticated Game Used Baseball from Game 4 of NLDS in St Louis. This baseball was the ACTUAL baseball which Albert Pujols threw out Chase Utley at 3rd base on COctober 5th 2011. This was one of the GREATEST plays in St Louis Cardinals PLAYOFF HISTORY!!
In the top of the sixth, with the Cardinals holding a one-run lead, Chase Utley broke for second with the pitch on an apparent hit-and-run. Hunter Pence hit a grounder to shortstop. AS Rafael Furcal went to throw the ball to first base and record the easy out, Utley took a huge gamble and tried to get to third base. Pujols saw Utley take off, and came off the bag to get the ball and throw Utley out at third base. He got him by several feet with a perfect throw--see pictures attached. Had Pujols stayed on the base, Utley would have been on third with just one out and Ryan Howard coming to the plate. A sacrafice fly would then tie the game. But Pujols instinctively came off the bag and nailed the lead runner.
This play was the "MOMENTUM CHANGING PLAY" for the St Louis Cardinals. One of the key events that took them all the way to World Series Champions 2011!!
