Any day now, Albert Pujols, 37, will join the 600 Home Run Club. If he stays healthy, he may join super-talented Aaron, Rodriguez, and Mays in the elite 3,000 Hit, 600 Home Run Club this year. Alex Rodriguez' stats are tarnished by his admitted PED usage over multiple seasons. Pujols never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
600 Home Run Club
Barry Bonds - 762
Hank Aaron - 755, 3,771 hits
Babe Ruth - 714
Alex Rodriguez* - 692, 3,115 hits
Willie Mays - 660, 3,283 hits
Ken Griffey Jr. - 630
Jim Thome - 612
Sammy Sosa - 609
The line stats on these players are remarkably similar. Pujols' 17-year career was aided by the DH for the past six years with the Angels, but he is still a prolific hitter and has played in 800 less games.
