UNDATED (AP) – The Los Angeles Angels are dropping a Hall of Fame candidate.  Albert Pujols has been designated for assignment, abruptly ending the 41-year-old superstar slugger’s decade with his second major league team.  Pujols is fifth in major league history with 667 career homers, and 13th with 3,253 hits. The oldest active player in the majors is batting just .198 this season with five homers and 12 RBIs.  Pujols joined the Angels in late 2011 after 11 successful seasons with the Cardinals.
