Albert Pujols is involved in a wild controversy during the championship series of the Dominican Professional Baseball League.
The Dominican winter league, known as LIDOM, is currently playing out its championship between Tigres del Licey and Leones del Escogido, managed by Pujols.
Escogido was one out away from winning the championship in six games when former New York Yankee Gustavo Nunez stepped in and hit a two-run home run to tie the game for Licey, the two-time defending champions. Licey wound up winning the game in 13 innings, forcing a decisive Game 7 on Monday.
Escogido, however, believed Nunez had used an illegal bat for the home run, and Pujols requested it be examined and confiscated.
