Without a doubt first ballot HOFer

@ConnorMiller417 Год назад

One of the greatest baseball players ever! I was hoping he could get to 700 before he retired and people thought I was crazy for saying it. Never underestimate the heart of a champion! Pujols was such a joy to watch!

@snorlax8963 Год назад

thats what i thought. people so pessimistic about it and booom! they silence. once you are on record chasing you will never stop till u get it.

@blindcritic3309 Год назад

Was actually hoping he would get to 700 doubles also to join Speaker, Rose, Musial and Cobb. The line drive type of hitters that are different from the homerun hitters like Bonds, Aaron and Ruth. Albert would have joined both clubs had he done that but alas, he missed it by 14 doubles. Think his lack of speed stopped him as I'd watch him line a shot off the wall and end up with only a single many times in the last few years. Boy will I miss watching him hit in the 2023 season...

Albert, if anybody ever earned retirement, it is you. From the moment you debuted in the MLB in 2001, your dedication to the game of baseball has been pretty obvious. Your diligence and pursuing excellence each and every game for 22 seasons has been remarkable. We have seen you go from a talented rookie phenom, to All Star, to World Series Champion, and to a veteran mentor. You have represented everything this beautiful game of baseball has to offer. You're 4th all time in HR's with 703, 2nd in RBI's with 2,218, and have over 3,000 hits. You were a WS Champ, you won the 2001 NL Rookie of the Year!!! Crazy!!! An absolute legend!!! While we will miss watching you play, we wish you nothing but the best of luck in the next chapter of your life. Enjoy retirement my friend. You've earned it!!!!

@bonquishquish2164 Год назад

I agree. He’s right behind Bonds

@GnosticXMusic Год назад

Watching him hit #703 and passing Babe Ruth in one fell swoop...seeing it live in the stands...wow. It's a memory I'll never forget. I never thought I would see someone ALL ALONE in 2nd place with career total bases and RBI AND hit more than 700 home runs. He's the greatest player since Hammerin' Hank Aaron, and the greatest ballplayer of my generation.

@TheOGSticks11 8 месяцев назад

Should have seen him in his first Cardinals life. He was easily the most amazing hitter you've ever seen. He never didn't fight as hard as he could. Ground outs were as loud as a bomb in the crowd. Contact was pleasure.

In his last season, at age 42, Barry Bonds was still the most feared hitter in the game. He led the baseball with a .480 OPS and finished 7th in NL with .565 Slugging Percentage.

@CanadaMMA Год назад

His contract with the Cardinals allowed them to use Albert in situations where he could still rake. He hasn't been able to hit right handed pitching for about 5 seasons, but he never stopped killing lefties. The Angels had to use him everyday because of the money he was making.

@samuelalles4397 Год назад

The second half of the season he was crushing right handed pitchers too, he made an adjustment. That’s probably the biggest factor in him hitting 70 honestly.

@brandonkohl6922 Год назад

Only way to watch Albert hit the long balls....plug in the headphones and turn the volume up to the point that it will most likely cause hearing issues down the road. Worth it!

@edwardcapobianco2975 3 месяца назад

I truly believe if Albert had stayed in St.Louis he would have had 800 career homeruns! This man was something else. He averaged only 50 strikeouts a year . Man oh man he just crushed the ball! How can you not love this guy??? With all he accomplished this man should be a unanimous HOF candidate. He's up on baseball's Mount Rushmore with Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. Im overwhelmed from watching this video clip of Albert just annihilating the baseball. Yes Babe Ruth has been gone from the game as a player for nearly 90 years but when your name is mentioned right alongside Babe Ruth you're definitely a living legend . That my friends is Albert Pujols. And I just want to say it again, HE ONLY AVERAGED ABOUT 50 STRIKEOUTS A SEASON!

@joshuapatrick682 Год назад

Go back to his MLB youtube highlight videos in August and you'll see me calling 703 in the comments. just made sense that he would do 24 in his final season as that was 2/3's his annual average. not sure how I came to that conclusion but I was right!

@williruiz7020 Год назад

Only one mistake in his amazing career: he changed the baseball team. If he had stayed at St. Louis all the time, he would have hit easily over 800 home runs👍🏾⚾️ My personal opinion!

@AlexJW224 Год назад

I agree! I really wish he stayed with the Cards

@cory2453 7 месяцев назад

469 out of 703 as a STL Cardinal!!!..I agree with you...When he left he had 445 would've just needed bout 355 to have got 800 career homers milestone all as a STL Cardinal...He got to 703 Career after leaving STL and rejoining..I also ponder what wouldve happened had he stayed...Would the Cardinals have won the 2013 postseason vs Big Papi Red Sox? Molina never technically robbed the Cardinals he got $163,000,000 over 18 years...He kept it under $200 million even when they let Pujols leave...Wainwright got $181 million in 18 years, a bit more than Molina but still under $200 million...People act like Pujols asked DeWitt for literally $500 million but thats not the case...He is used as a pin cushion by some fans for being greedy but to this day the STL Cardinals have never signed a free agent over 7 years $120 million yet...So to me the blame shifts to the GM and cheap ownership...

@p__b__3749 7 месяцев назад

@evanstevens7918 9 месяцев назад

I feel like Albert isnt the greatest of all time because of the 700 hrs but the consistency throughout in his career even when he had a “down year” he was still an above average player and im sure we all knew this is how it would end

@evanstevens7918 9 месяцев назад

For all of the people reading this i do think Albert is a better hitter than Barry bonds even though barry bonds is a good hitter he just wasn’t as consistent as Albert what other player in the history of the mlb besides tony gwynn hit .300 for ten or more years

@b1lly137 Год назад

He wouldn't have been as good though. His counting stuff sure, but the reason he did so well in all of these appearances was because he wasn't wearing himself out playing every day

@edwardanthony7283 Год назад

@@b1lly137 Ok but he would have been fine starting 125 instead of ONLY 85 or so with a lot of 1 AB PH duty factoring into the 109 GP mix @ only 351 plate appearances + he was the DH in most of his starts anyway with only 20 @ 1st base so the wear & tear was very limited! He would have had more homers & rbi without a doubt & the .270 average would have remained similar or gotten even better. He needed to play regularly to get comfortable & back in his groove & once he got in there on a daily basis for a while, not 1-2 times a week, he took off & you obviously saw it. Think that one over but he's retired & waiting for the call from the Hall in 5 years @ this point.
