Albert Pujols

In the third inning of last night's contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds, Albert Pujols connected for the 694th home run of his Major League Baseball career. This two-run longball was struck off Reds hurler Ross Detwiler; remarkably, this is the 450th different pitcher that Pujols has hit a home run off of, which is a new MLB record. Furthermore, the home run was far from just a record-setter, as it contributed to his Club's robust, 13-4 victory on the night.
