By Nathan Borkowski Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share St. Louis Cardinals v Pittsburgh Pirates Albert Pujols made MLB history with home run number 697 in his career, moving him ahead of Alex Rodriguez on the all-time list.

One of the best offensive players of all-time, Pujols has been on an absolute tear in recent weeks as he chases the 700 home run mark. This is a story that unites almost all baseball fans, regardless of what team they normally support. The St. Louis Cardinals future Hall of Famer blasted this home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Pujols' second half of the season would have been tremendous for any player, let alone a player in the final year of their career.

Andrew Simon@AndrewSimonMLBNot only are these recent HR monumental for Albert Pujols personally, but 4 of his past 5 have either tied the game or put the Cardinals in the lead in the 6th inning or later.6810Not only are these recent HR monumental for Albert Pujols personally, but 4 of his past 5 have either tied the game or put the Cardinals in the lead in the 6th inning or later. Pujols' story is electrifiying fans around the world and nobody wants to see it come to an end. The entire MLB universe is behind Albert Pujols in his pursuit of 700 home runs
St. Louis Cardinals v Pittsburgh Pirates Now that fourth place in the all-time home run list is secured, focus turns to the vaunted 700 home run mark. If Pujols is able to get homer number 700 this season, this celebration will be dwarfed. Albert Pujols' pursuit of history is one of the best stories in baseball right now, and one of the best in all sports.
