Pujols and Aaron are the only players with both 700 HR and 3,000 hits. Who will come close to that?

Pujols has a LOT of hits, he's 9th all time ahead of A Rod and Tony Gwynn and George Brett and Willie Mays

I'm not taking anything away from him but let's be real, the way those balls flew, the pitchers grooved them in there to him. This game was meaningless to the Dodgers. And that's exactly what they should have done!

Congrats to Albert, what a career...

The pitch for 699 didn’t look like it was grooved but 700 may have likely been a gift from his former team.

You can take away all of Aaron’s 755 HRs and he’d still have over 3,000 hits. That is amazing.

Pujols feels 'extra special' after hitting No. 701 at Busch

ST. LOUIS -- Even though the 27th sellout crowd of the season jammed inside Busch Stadium to celebrate Albert Pujols joining the 700 home run club last week and watch the final regular-season series of his illustrious career, he said it’s easy to control his emotions because he feels he

Pujols honored pregame, then slugs 702nd HR

Albert Pujols hit his 702nd home run Sunday. He's fourth on the career list behind Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762).

As his career comes to a close I just looked at his stats again...what is it about St Louis? His numbers this year at age 42 are better than any he had in LA (by OPS+). And that 2008-9 back to back season run was absurd.

Hope he gets to 700, only 6 away.

He wasn't too happy playing with the Halos, didn't help that they were always pretty much out of playoff contention at the all star break. He said playing with the Dodgers and being in meaningful games into October rejuvenated him and had he not played for the Dodgers he probably would've retired. I'm glad he didn't it was cool seeing him get to 700.

He's a good dude. and one of 4 players, Griffey, Jr, Vlad n Jim Thome being the other 3 who I believe didn't use PEDs even though they played in the thick of the era.

Frank Thomas too

#703 tonight with 2 RBI, passing Babe Ruth for 2nd all-time (2216). It looks like he has relaxed a little bit since he hit #700.

At his HR pace he should stay a few more years. Love him

If he sticks around for 3 more seasons, he could catch and pass Bonds. We can dream........

Good call. And I know there are others, but I'm talking hitters with power. Miggy is another one.

Miggy is just a special player all around.

Yeah, if you were to say the best of his generation for instance. You'd get no argument from me.

Dude is suddenly on a roll...too bad the season (his last) has wound down.
Helluva career.

Another HR, another milestone for Pujols: Slugger hits No. 703

PITTSBURGH -- Another night, another home run for Albert Pujols and another home run record for the likely Hall of Famer. Not only did Pujols hit home run No. 703 on Monday night at PNC Park, but it was the 263rd go-ahead home run of the slugger’s career. That go-ahead

Dude wants to go out on top like Posey did. He's doing exactly the right thing.

YourFriendGannon · Oct 4, 2022

IMO the only active player with more than a 1% chance at 700 home runs is Pete Alonso. Trout no longer has a realistic path to it.

He's gonna be a serious weapon for them in the playoffs., that they def were not execting as of July.

Giving the cards a 3rd bat that can turn the game around in 1 swing at anytime.
