SAVANNAH — First a bishop, now an Angel. Special guests keep coming to Savannah’s only Catholic, all-male military high school.Major League Baseball star Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels took batting practice at Benedictine Military School on Wednesday and Thursday, a month after the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Savannah called upon the school’s baseball program to help him brush up on his pitching skills for an event.Pujols didn’t need any help with his game but the Angels’ first baseman, widely considered to be one of the greatest hitters in Major League Baseball history, was searching for a facility where he could conduct private workouts during a four-day vacation during the MLB All-Star break. Pujols chose Benedictine thanks to the help of Benedictine Military School alumni and friends, including St. Louis Cardinals pitcher and former teammate Adam Wainwright, a native of nearby Brunswick.“This is a great facility.
