    Pujols now at 695
    Albert Pujols rocketed a two-run homer in the 8th to move within one of Alex Rodriguez for 4th all-time and five of the magical 700!

    697! Albert Pujols alone in 4th place
    Bonds. Aaron. Ruth. Pujols. The Cards legend took sole possession of fourth place on the all-time homer list with No. 697,

    This guy really snuck up on me. I didn't realize he had that many homeruns.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    There are no words to describe the sadness I felt when Albert hit 699 and 700 on the same night.

    The friggin game was apple TV so I couldn't watch...I COULDN'T WATCH!

    The next morning, the headlines. I was so mad! I've followed Pujols since day one and I've tracked his career, not fan boy level, but I did follow and as he inched closer to 700 my excitement level increased and in steps apple friggin tv!!!

    Couldn't even watch the late night replay because of their broadcasting rights.

    I'm hoping, it's a long shot I know, that the Cards make it the WS.

    Wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit if Pujols would play the 2023 season long
    enough to get 715 HRs. Just sayin'.

    Yes. But he has made it clear that this is his last year.

    Others have changed their minds in the past. Just sayin.

    He had his mind made up before this resurgent season. I could see him coming back to top the Babe. he seems to be having fun.
