“It took me 36 years to hit 207 home runs, so I’ll be 140 when I reach 700.” ~ Charlie Blackmon, Outfielder for the Colorado Rockies Welcome to the 700 Home Run Club Albert Pujols! (Albert Pujols. Found on the internet. Assuming Public Domain.) Pujols joined Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762) on Friday, the 23rd of September by hitting two home runs in consecutive at-bats against the Los Angeles Dodgers with the Cardinals winning 11-0 the game. Number 699 was off Andrew Heaney and number 700 was off Phil Bickford.
Pujols is one of the greats on and off the field. He’s truly there for the fans. Here’s what he said about his 700th HR ball:
“Souvenirs are for the fans. I don't have any problem if they want to keep it,”
