Re: Albert Pujols
Sure, but these guys are also professionals that have been playing baseball, most of them since they were 5. To compare them to you or me is a bit silly.
I think it's a bit of a chicken and egg argument. Does good chemistry foster winning, or does winning foster good chemistry?
In 2002, some of the Braves guys were talking up how they've had the best clubhouse since the 1995 season. The result? A first round exit in the playoffs.
Look at the 1986 Mets. That was far from a very good clubhouse, yet they made an improbably comeback to win the WS as well.
Yeah, it matters, but it's so overblown.
