A Missouri sports bar and grill named for Albert Pujols will change its name after the slugger left the Cardinals in free agency.

The Pujols 5 Westport Grill is being renamed to the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame Bar and Grill.

Pujols said in a statement: "I want to wish Pat Sr., Dave, Pat Jr., and the rest of the Hanon family nothing but success and happiness with their new restaurant."

There are no plans to remove the statue of Pujols that resides out in front of the eatery.
