Albert Pujols' Road to 700 HR Was a Perfect Story

Hey everyone!

Albert Pujols finally did it. He reached the 700 career home run milestone becoming only the 4th player in the 700th home run club. Just a few years ago, the probability of Pujols reaching this number was thought to be impossible. But, he's proved us all wrong.

As a baseball fan and a Cardinals fan, this season has been nothing short of incredible

[DonOfChi]

Best right handed hitter in MLB history and we got to witness his whole career. I don’t think we’ll ever see someone like him ever again.

[austinbrady]

This whole year with Judge and Pujols both chasing history has been really good for baseball. It's good to see. Needed a year like this.

I went to the game where he hit 700 last minute. One of the best baseball experiences of my life (even as a Dodgers fan). Love Albert and so glad he got to 700.

SportStorm once again thank you for such an amazing video! As a Cardinals fan, it is incredible to watch him now be a member of 700 HR club and smiling the whole way thru while giving fans of my generation a glimpse into the past. Got to see him twice this year, both in pinch hit situations (he walked against Aroldis Chapman of all people, and then struck out on the other), and while he didn't do anything special, I will still have the memory of HIM forever. Cheers Albert, thank you SportStorm, and here's to a great Cardinals October!

Man i forget there’s a whole generation whose never seen what this man was able to do. I started watching baseball in 2002ish as a young kid with my late grandfather who was a huge Cardinals fan. I feel honored to have seen the Greatness I did for almost 10 years. There were “moments” as a Cardinals fan when I could almost feel he was going to do something big everytime he came up. It’s also important to note he wasn’t just a homerun or power hitter, this dude was as pure of a hitter as it came. Struck out 1/3rd of the time as the average major leaguer today, if you needed a single through the right side he’d do it, or if you needed a grand slam in a big moment, he produced. That 10 year stretch was the closest I’ll ever be to watching a true baseball god.

As a Braves fan, I have always admired Albert Pujols and am so happy for him to reach the 700 HR club. Watching him, the Cardinals, and Houston duke it out year in and year out back in the day was always worth the watch. Congrats Pujols, you deserve it! First ballot HOF!⚾

[zeroThreeSixHD]

Cubs fan here. Pujols was scary but epic. What a magical final season and it's unreal he got to do it in a Cards' jersey

[Trevor_Leach]

I’m a Cubs fan and I gotta say this is the only time I’ve cheered for a guy on the Cardinals. What he’s been able to do is incredible and I almost wish he wasn’t retiring so he could keep climbing the leaderboard

[dannydonvito]

As a life long Astros fan who lived thru the pujols terrorizing us era im very happy for him and always had a feeling he would make this list. He was too good. Baseball isn’t baseball without him

[aaroncashman]

This man has taken me from a person who couldn’t stand to watch baseball on TV to someone who has watched pretty much every Cards game this season. Man is absolutely mythical. The Machine❤

[SourMlkSea]

From a Phillies fan, thanks for the memories Albert. We are sad to see Albert go. So much respect for him. He was/is the best. Seeing him get to retire a cardinal was a big deal and necessary. Glad the Cardinals brought him home. We wish Albert a happy and healthy retirement and future. It has been a pleasure witnessing greatness. From all MLB fans, thank you.

[CharmCityGamer]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer man. So so happy for Albert! Thanks for the video!

[Bmcclain]

He debuted for the cardinals days before I was born, I grew up loving baseball and pujols was my favorite player. Watching 2006 and 2011 World Series was great, seeing his 2022 is magic, I’m hoping for the World Series

[donwhiteley]

As someone who has been watching major league baseball for 35 years, Pujols' 2nd half has been one of the most amazing things I've seen and I could not be happier for him. Congrats to the greatest right-handed hitter I've ever seen.

[cardinalsfan]

Watching Albert get to 700 has been real special. I was at his first two games back at Busch in '19 (3:01 & 3:17), and the first ovation and home run after he returned - I thought - were amazing moments in themselves. But this year tops those by a country mile. It's been a good time to be a Cardinals fan.

[bryny]

As a lifelong cards fan who fell off of baseball for the past 5 years. Pujols coming back reignited my love for the game. Seeing the machine in action this year has been something truly special

[josephm.]

From St. Louis, couldn't be more proud that he hit 700 in a cardinals jersey.

[lionheartzcs]

It's hard to put into words what this last few months was like. Legit we got to see the last glimpse of prime Machine, it's a legit turning back the clock to his mvp level and I hope we get to see a few post season slams to really send it off!

[itsmealex]

I was at the game he hit 700. It was the second two-home run game I saw him get within the span of two weeks. It was truly an amazing moment.
