Timeline

1955

Luis Bienvenido Pujols Toribio (born November 18, 1955) is a Dominican former professional baseball player coach and manager.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a catcher from to, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he helped the franchise win its first-ever National League Western Division title and postseason berth in.

He also played for the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers.

Although Pujols didn't produce impressive offensive statistics, he excelled defensively which enabled him to sustain a nine-year career as a back-up catcher.

1973

Seventeen-year-old Pujols signed with the Houston Astros as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 1973.

1977

He batted .230 with five home runs and 107 runs batted in over five seasons in their farm system when he made his debut as a September call-up in 1977.

He got one hit in fifteen at-bats over the remainder of the season.

More importantly, he caught four of eight attempted base stealers.

1978

He started the 1978 season in the minors, but was brought up mid-season around the time the Astros dealt starting catcher Joe Ferguson to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He platooned behind the plate with former first round draft pick Bruce Bochy, who was also called up at around the same time, for the remainder of the season.

Pujols batted .131 with one home run and eleven RBIs.

1979

The Astros acquired Alan Ashby from the Toronto Blue Jays to assume the starting catcher job in 1979.

Bochy was given the back-up catcher job, and Pujols was reassigned to the triple A Charleston Charlies.

In Charleston, he put together his finest season at any level, batting .249 with six home runs and 41 RBIs.

He was called up to Houston in late August to again platoon with Bochy after Ashby injured himself in a game against the Montreal Expos, and was lost for the season.

He was the hero of his second game back in the majors.

In a tight race for the National League West, Pujols hit a triple and a double, driving in two and scoring one run to lead his team to a 9-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He also had a three RBI game against the Atlanta Braves on September 25.

For the season, he batted .227 with eight RBIs as the Astros finished a game and a half back of the Cincinnati Reds.

1980

In 1980, Pujols spent his first full season in the majors.

He batted .199 with twenty RBIs for an Astro team that captured its first division crown in franchise history.

Though both were hobbled with injuries, Pujols actually received the bulk of the playing time over Ashby in the 1980 National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

In thirteen plate appearances, he drew three walks and hit a triple off Hall of Famer Steve Carlton.

Following Carlton Fisk's departure from the Boston Red Sox via free agency, Pujols was rumored to be headed to Boston for Joe Rudi, but nothing ever materialized.

Instead, he remained in Houston, and was on his way to his best season statistically when a players strike interrupted his season.

On May 19, after hitting a triple against the St. Louis Cardinals' Bob Shirley, Pujols stole home for the only stolen base of his career.

He batted .254 with one home run and eight RBIs in the first half, while batting .224 with six RBIs and no home runs in the second half.

Still, the Astros won the NL West in the second half of the season to return to the post-season a second year in a row.

1981

Pujols came to bat seven times in the 1981 National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers without getting a hit.

1982

Pujols had a nightmare of a game on June 24, 1982.

With knuckleballer Joe Niekro on the mound, he was charged with four passed balls and allowed two additional wild pitches.

He'd had only two passed balls up to that point in the season, but ended up leading the majors with twenty in only 488 innings behind the plate by season's end (the Texas Rangers' Jim Sundberg had the second highest with sixteen in 1136.2 innings).

Likewise, his hitting tapered off as well as the season progressed.

After his batting average peaked at .276 on July 2, he batted just .161 the rest of the way.

He did, however, have a career high four home runs.

1983

He split the 1983 season between the Astros and Triple A Tucson Toros, and spent the entire 1984 season in Tucson until being dealt to the Kansas City Royals for minor leaguer James Miner.

He appeared in four games for the Royals that September, collecting one hit in five at-bats.

2002

After his playing career, Pujols served as a major league coach before being named the interim manager for the Detroit Tigers in 2002.

He later became a minor league manager for the Astros and the Baltimore Orioles.

Pujols is the cousin of St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols.
