The unique data of the 700 home runs of the great Albert Pujols

Pretty much the only thing left Albert Pujols in his legendary career in the Major League Baseball (MLB) has achieved it, after hitting a pair of home runs in the 11-0 victory of the St. Louis Cardinals about Los Angeles Dodgers.

Pujols with his 2 homers reached 700 for life, becoming just the fourth player in history to reach that figurejoining Barry Bonds’ 762, Hank Aaron’s 755, and Babe Ruth’s 714.

The historic 42-year-old Dominican baseball player, and in his 22nd season as a professional in the Major Leagues, began this course with 679 homers, needing 21 to achieve the feat of 700, something that he can already mark as ‘done’ on his list of pending goals.

However, there is much more behind Pujols’ 700 home runs, since according to ESPN Stats & Info, the legendary player is the only one of the group of 4 players with 700 or more homers in being born abroad of the USA.

In the same way, he is the first of the 4 who hit his 699th and 700th home run in the same game, as well as hitting the 700th against a team for which he played, with Pujols having worn the Dodgers jersey last year. .

Last but not least, on the contrary, being more than surprising, he is the first of the previous 4 to be older than his manager on the day of the 700 homer achievement, with Oliver Marmol being 36 years old, 6 years younger than Pujols of 42.
