Albert Pujols

St. Louis Cardinals designated hitter Albert Pujols inched himself closer to baseball history on Friday night – and was instrumental in the team’s 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Down, 4-2, in the bottom of the sixth, Pujols hammered a two-run blast an estimated 427 feet into the left-field seats, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. The 42-year-old slugger now sits at 698 career home runs, aiming to become just the fourth player in baseball history to reach the 700-homer mark.
