El toletero dominicano cierra un capítulo importante en su carrera dentro de la Gran Carpa, en su último año como jugador activo.

En la siguiente conectó 34 y desde allí no paró, siendo el líder de todo el béisbol por dos campañas consecutivas( (2009 y 2010). Hank Aaron (755) y Barry Bonds -aunque polémico- (762) son los otros dos en la lista.

700! With two homers in LA, Cardinals great Albert Pujols launches ... (STLtoday.com)

One inning after he launched the 699th home run of his career, Pujols hit his 700th to join Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and Barry Bonds as the only players in ...

Deployed as a pinch-hitter with the bases loaded in the third inning of a home game against Colorado, Pujols drilled his first career pinch-hit grand slam. The rush toward 700 happened fast as Pujols came out of his All-Star Game appearance and Home Run Derby with one of the finest second halves of his career. In one stretch of six homers, five of them either tied the game for the Cardinals or put them ahead in a game they’d win. He’s had a run of injuries for a few years in Anaheim that there’s no question we wouldn’t be talking about 700. He hit No. His 700th homer was his 21st of the season – 13 of them coming after Aug. He hit a two-run homer for a 2-0 victory with his last career swing against the rival Chicago Cubs. It was Beltre’s career record that Pujols broke to become the all-time leader in hits by a player not born in the United States. At 42, he slugged .803 in August and had a 1.049 OPS in the first 44 games after the All-Star break. You have to play really old. Pujols’ second homer of the game came in the fourth inning off Dodgers reliever Phil Bickford and gave him five RBIs in the game. Pujols had homered in the third inning off LA’s starter Andrew Heaney.

Albert Pujols 700 home runs: Cardinals legend reaches rare ... (CBS sports.com)

Pujols joins distinct company in the form of some of the most prolific sluggers the game has ever seen: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Pujols first ...

Pujols has been one of the best in history in maxing out on this front. We celebrate things like 500 home runs, 3,000 hits, 3,000 strikeouts and the like, so being the fourth person to 700 home runs is a pretty significant accomplishment. Louis Cardinals](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/STL/st-louis-cardinals/) legend [Albert Pujols](/mlb/players/223571/albert-pujols/) became the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to reach 700 career home runs on Friday night with a two-homer effort against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Getting to 700 doesn't move Pujols on the career leaderboard; it's just a nice-round number. He's never strayed from his declaration that he was playing in 2022 and not a single year longer, despite the possibility that he could get so close to 700 and still fall short. Pujols joins distinct company in the form of some of the most prolific sluggers the game has ever seen: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.
