St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols hit home runs 699 and 700 of his career Friday, becoming just the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to reach 700.
"I didn’t control them," Pujols said of his emotions after the game, according to MLB.com"If you see the video of the homer, I went down into the tunnel, and that’s when I let my emotions out."Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals pose with Max Muncy and Justin Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers with golf bags gifted to them at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles Friday, Sept. 23, 2022.
"It's pretty special," Pujols said, according to ESPN."When it's really gonna hit me is when I'm done, at the end of the season, when I'm retired, and probably a moment or two after that I can look at the numbers."Look, don't get me wrong, I know what my place is in this game. But, since day one, when I made my debut, it was never about numbers, it was never about chasing numbers.
