    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Albert Pujols has won an NL MVP award, a Gold Glove and a World Series. He added a perfect 100 on his U.S. citizenship test to his resume this week.The St. Louis Cardinals' star became a U.S. citizen Wednesday during a ceremony at the Eagleton Courthouse. Pujols' wife, Deidre, arranged to have about two dozen relatives and friends watch U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber swear in Pujols.Chester Moyer, the officer in charge of the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service office in St. Louis, said Thursday that Deidre Pujols served as her husband's tutor. Moyer said the 27-year-old Pujols spent about a year preparing for the citizenship exam."He even answered a bunch of additional questions and gave us more answers than we asked," Moyer said. "He clenched his fist and said, 'I got 100 percent!'"He just had a grin from ear to ear," Moyer said. "He was thrilled to become a citizen."Pujols' agent and officials with his foundation, the Pujols Family Foundation, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.The ceremony was open to the public, but there was no publicity about Pujols' participation. He was the only person sworn in Wednesday.Pujols grew up in the Dominican Republic, moved with his father to the Kansas City area when he was 16, was graduated from Fort Osage High School in Independence, Mo., in 1998. He was selected by the Cardinals in the 13th round of the 1999 amateur draft after playing baseball at Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City.</div>

    In other news, Derek Jeter ran out of flour and had to ask the neighbor for a cup so he could bake his mom a birthday cake.
