Matt Carpenter says Pujols' return to St. Louis should be treated 'like a hero coming back to town.'
"Like a hero coming back to town," Carpenter says.
Of course, The Machine famously put together a Hall of Fame career for the Cards from 2001 to 2011 ... but he didn't leave for the Angels on the best of terms following the '11 season. Some have thought he might be welcomed with a bunch of boos because of that when he comes to town with the Halos this week ... but Carpenter says fans should stand up and cheer nonetheless.
"That guy had arguably one of the 10 best seasons that have ever been played in St. Louis," Matt says. First pitch Friday is at 5:15 PM PT ... Pujols is expected to step into the batter's box in either the first or second innings.

Report: Dad Proud Of You; He Won't Say It, But It's TrueWASHINGTON—According to a new report released Sunday by the Pew Research Center, even though he doesn&39;t always show it and certainly never says it, your father is very proud of you. "He actually talks about you all the time with his coworkers and the friends he plays golf with on Sundays," the report reads in part, stating that while it may seem as if he has little interest in your career, your dad really respects how hard you&39;ve worked—regardless of the fact that every time you see him he manages to make a sarcastic little comment about your profession while going out of his way to praise your sister. "You should have seen the smile on his face when he found out you were coming home for Fourth of July weekend."
