These two are about as physically imposing and talented as baseball players can get. They are both having fantastic seasons. I grew up exactly in between St. Louis and Chicago (now live closer to the Windy City), and the debate is heating up among sports fans in the area. It reminds me of the '87 debate of Dawson v. Ozzie (except Pujols and Lee have comparable stats).
I'm curious as to what you guys think.
