This is why I refer you to the 2003 Home Run Derby. I know this may not mean much to you, but I have seen it with my own eyes. Pujols' initiation was slightly different on inside pitches than on outside pitches. I can guarantee you this.

If you want to see it, do anything you can to get your hands on the video. ESPN will probably show it before this year's Home Run Derby. Make sure you don't miss it.
