" 'Like I say, I haven't talked to them, but I prefer not to use (El Hombre),' Pujols said Wednesday.
It's an emotional issue for Pujols because he became acquainted with 90-year-old Musial in his 11 seasons playing in St. Louis. In 2010, Pujols asked St. Louis media and fans not to call him "El Hombre."
'I still have the same respect for him as I had, not just for what he's done in baseball but for what he did for his country,' Pujols said. 'That's something you have to appreciate.' "
