This is insane Bonds and Rodz were juicers No need to include them in the list - MLB fans discuss steroid use after Albert Pujols hits HR no 697 Veteran slugger climbs 4th place in All-time Career HR
By Nathan Borkowski Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share St. Louis Cardinals v Pittsburgh Pirates Albert Pujols moved into fourth place in MLB history for career home runs with 697 dingers. The St. Louis Cardinals legend was tied with Alex Rodriguez at 696, but it did not last long. A clutch home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates broke that record. We are truly witnessing one of the game's best offensive players chasing history, and fans around the MLB love to see it. Albert Pujols has had a storied career that has spanned the last two decades. He has spent the majority of that time with two teams: the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Angels. Now, in what is likely the final season of his career, he is back with the team that drafted him: the Cardinals. Not only is he chasing history, but the team is gearing up for a playoff run, hoping to send Pujols out with a ring. The MLB shared this graphic to Twitter, showing the top five in career home runs in the history of baseball.

All cleanly too. twitter.com/mlb/status/156… This list also led to a rather passionate discussion about which players should be included. Primarily Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez, on the basis of being aided by Performance Enhancing Drugs. This is a topic that has its fair share of controversy, given how prevalent PEDs have been in the past. There is a strong feeling that all records acquired with the assistance of PEDs should be redacted. Dean Barclay Head@DeanBHead@MLB @PujolsFive @Cardinals Bonds and Rodz were juicers.

Not The Singer@agarethgatesI want, with all my being, for Albert to hit 700 before he retires. twitter.com/MLB/status/156…MLB@MLB.@PujolsFive keeps climbing the list. 12428943.@PujolsFive keeps climbing the list. https://t.co/qFeWGW9Cp8I want, with all my being, for Albert to hit 700 before he retires. twitter.com/MLB/status/156… What Pujols has done this season has been incredible, and fans around the world are hoping for a fairytale ending. Albert Pujols will be a key player in the St Louis Cardinals playoff run
St. Louis Cardinals v Pittsburgh Pirates Barring a collapse, the Cardinals will win the National League Central and secure a playoff berth. When playing in October, they will likely lean on the experience and ability of Pujols. His most recent home runs have been clutch and game-changing hits. No one expects that to change in the postseason. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Gaelin Leif × Feedback Thank You!
