St Louis Cardinals veteran Albert Pujols in a heartwarming gesture gifts his 697th home run ball to a fan who lost her father a year back

By Aashna Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Albert Pujols gave a fan his 697th career home run ball. St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols made an emotional gesture after he hit his 697th career home run on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. A fan named Matt Brown, who caught Pujols’ baseball, met him after the game. Matt and his wife Samantha were led to the clubhouse area at PNC Park after the game to give Pujols the historic baseball. Pujols took the time to talk to the two fans rather than just take the ball, sign a few autographs, and leave. When Pujols learned that Samantha's father had passed away exactly one year prior, he instructed them to keep the special baseball instead.
