Lots of people want him to play another year. But i think he should still retire after this year because there's no guarantee he'll be good next year. Stick with the original plan and go out on top, never having to regret sticking around one year too long
He’s just so close to babe now. Wouldn’t even need a great season. Maybe only half a season even.
He can get to Bonds. Imagine if Pujols walks off World Series what a way to end the career
I agree I love Pujols but he is better to go out this way - You are wearing the Cardinals uniform maybe you can win a world series every team has a chance at this point.
If he was close to Bonds or Aaron he would likely come back to break the record. But coming back for another season to pass Ruth is not worth it.
@@vripper2678 as a dodgers fan i wouldn’t even be if that happened
Without the NL DH this would not be possible. Perfect timing for Albert.
Why not? Does he need to be the DH?
@@supertaints1710 bc the cardinals wouldn’t have taken him when they have Goldie 😂
Times have changed
Get rid of DH ,
@@supertaints1710He can barely move anymore. He either hits home runs or gets out
dude is an absolute legend. I was a 14 year old kid playing EA Sports' MVP 2004 on GameCube, with this guy Albert Pujols on the cover. The career this man has had is just out of this world man. you have to think on some level, with modern technology like all our cameras and TH-cam and everything, this is the best we have to watch one of the greatest legends of all time. We can't watch Babe Ruth like this, but we can watch Albert Pujols and get very very close.
Manny Ramirez looked better on the 2005 cover
@@fucuszullanti7877 I don't really care
@@fucuszullanti7877 I mean they're both great covers man lol
Love that game.
Clutch factor is on another level with Albert.
He's doing magical things to finish out his career.
I love it
What a great blessing we all get to participate in. I tear up every time
I watch these videos. My heart is just full of gratitude!
Literally, same!
Pitching coach on mound visit: "throw him a hanger, this is the only opportunity you'll have to be mentioned in the HoF."
Pitcher: nods head
😂 Be in the highlights for years to come
😂
Also number two of all time with more RBI. Legend From Republica Dominicana 👏👏🇩🇴🇩🇴
I can tell he's about to have a monster postseason.
Some say that ball he hit off Lidge might actually land.
To be honest he’s probably going to cool off once in the post season
2024 here. Pujols was 2 for 8 in his last postseason. Both hits were singles, and neither drove in a run. He also did not score a run in the series.
Just so happy he came home to St Louis ❤️
Many never leave the Game on a high note ......but Albert is leaving like a rejuvenated young man...the Babe is looking down and smiling. May Albert enjoy the rest of his life
Pretty cool that the Pirate's fans were hugging the Cardinal fan that caught the ball. Hats off to those guys.
The way he stares at the ball is amazing
Man just imagine if he didnt struggle in Anaheim. The best power hitter ive seen as a 27yr old (that was legit obvi).
One could only wish that he played his entire career in St Louis. What an absolute way to go out in the final year of his career
We don't mention his trip out west
Albert could hang on for a couple more seasons, but I do respect his decision to retire. He will forever be one of the greatest baseball players!
His fly was down 😮
No doubt he could keep going, he's a machine. For his last season though, he's going out strong. 20+ years and now on lists with the greats in HRs and RBIs.
Yeah and he is definitely great....I mean real great. In the age of PEDS and other dark shadows that have haunted baseball, he is indeed a bright REAL shining star and will be missed. Albert Pujols is amazing.
@@SSNESS why were you looking there buddy
@@ariofashandi3921 it’s the camera man’s fault
Honestly he looks more healthy enough for a season or maybe two. But if he wants to rest, well deserved 100%.
No. Retire on top for gods sake
you haven't seen him run
From Dominican Republic nos gustaría un año más del King Albert Pujols 👍🙏❤️! #Pujols One More Year Please 🙏❤️🎉😇
No más.
Ahí está bien
The best player of his generation the best of the best. Even back then it was just fastball, that's why a lot those players could hit a lot home run. But Barry, Pujols generation is about timing clutch and execution that's why they are the best. And today day is going be very rare to see this generation hit 700hm..
Que orgullo compartir la nacionalidad con esta super estrella…….viva RD !!!!!!!
He’s great and it’s going to be along time for anyone to be that great again. 👍♥️
Pirates fans celebrating the cardinals old timer fan catching the last homer.. I love this game so much
What a way to go out on your own terms a historic career and no major injuries
This video is the most watched baseball for me. Whenever a superstar retires, it's refreshing to see opposing teams and fans show dignity and respect. Sure they want their team to win but even they are just as excited for their opponents fans to catch a piece of history. I WOULDN'T even hesitate, f I had the opportunity to give a piece of history to a opposing teams fan, nothing else would've mattered. And that's my humble opinion.
Accomplish this in your 1lifetime club is AMAZING
On one hand I'm so happy for him to get to 700 on his final season, but on the other hand I'm so bummed that he's retiring, I wish that he would play another 1 or 2 seasons to break Hank Aaron's records for most rbis all time
As much as I am a proponent for “records are meant to be broken”… let Hank hold onto that one. It’s the biggest record he still has left.
@@Gemnist98 I heard that, the legendary hammering hank Aaron is the true home run king.
@@TheRealJoker1 I've triple-checked this for accuracy and regret to inform you there is in fact no mistake. Thank you for your concern, have a wonderful day.
Idk man, i think 762 is more than 755
@@townespotter3995 Dude bonds used roids, aaron did not, period.
I called 703 back in early August when he started heating up. I’m not saying I hope he slows down…..but I’m glad I called a number he did get to.🎉
yeah and ten years ago i called that he was going to hit 700 home runs with over 2200 RBIs
I'm so glad the fans are so respectful to Albert
Looks like more cardinals fans than pirates fans in Pittsburgh
WOW! Congratulations to Pujols 🎉 God bless.
To think he's done that same run over 700 times is insane
#PlatanoPower #TheMachine
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴Gracias Albert por tu Grandiosa Carrera!!
Goat 🐐
I remember watching Albert Pujols when he first came up into the big leagues and immediately started crushing. I was always amazed by him, but I never could have predicted that one day 22 years later that he would be breaking such mythical baseball records and be up there with Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.
Albert Pujols is a legend and this whole season feels like a movie at times because you couldn't script this if you tried. I feel so honored and privileged to have watched this man's career, and what an all-time great ending it has become. Thank you for all of the memories, Mr. Pujols :)
Not sure which ball I'd rather have, the one that hit 700, the one that tied Ruth or the one that passed Ruth. All three would be nice.
This gets me so emotional every time I watch this. He is forever my GOAT.
My favorite moment in Albert's final season was watching the Dodgers fans cheer him as he hit Nos.699 and 700 ... along with the Dodgers themselves.
Imagine if he never left St. Louis, might have the HR and RBI titles to himself, and a top 3 of all time discussion.
lol no. if he wasn’t roided up he’d have half the hrs he’s made
@@OmegaSniper57 Roided up? He never even hit 50 homers in a season! His 162 game average is 37 homers. Guess what Hank Aaron's 162 game average was? 37! They have equal power numbers throughout thier careers. Damn guess Hank was on roids too. 😂😂
@@OmegaSniper57 Shame on you for the blasphemy! He ain’t on no damn roids!
One of the amazing things about Albert Pujols is that he never strikeout over a 100 times in a season during his career. His average for 162 season is 74 strikeouts. Great contact hitter.
If this is his last year, he definitely retired at the best time of his career. Going out on top!
Congratulations Albert Pujols
Albert is given some of these fans rebates and then so what these home run historic balls
Respect to the St.Louis fans supporting this historic run. Notice the last home run was in Pittsburgh, and 90% of the crowd is Cardinals fans. St.Louis to Pittsburgh is a 9 1/2 hour drive. That's some serious fandom from Cards fans!
The Cards fans interesting history..... At one time, the Cardinals fans were all around the country because they broadcast a large radio signal across states boundaries. People in South Dakota could hear the cardinals game on the radio. Those old fans have passed on their support through generations. And Many Cards fans are known to travel, even for Spring training. I think that many people west of the Mississippi were Cards fans, at one point, because that was their closest team, and they were accessible by radio. Maybe still are.
That pitcher looked like he was throwing BP
Hard to tell a difference with Pirates pitchers
The Machine!
I want him to play 1 more year so he breaks a couple more records
Mí admiracion Albert Pujols siendo icono de Mlb en su gran retiro del mejor béisbol del mundo
6:09 No handshake..."brothers gotta hug" lol.
End of an Era here gents
So glad the Cards won the Central as a send-off
What a great man
What a ride, What a Team! Let’s go boys! Let’s pull this off
What’s really remarkable is his lifetime batting average while hitting so much home runs in his career
It’s crazy it’s still so high even with all the down seasons with the angels. His first 10 seasons in stl were unreal
Haciendo historia albert
Let's go Albert, run it back one more year!
I wonder if the way he is seeing the ball right now might make him come back another year. He is already in rarified air, but that RBI all time leader mark is so close.
Unfortunately I doubt it they already had a whole retirement ceremony for him
He should stay and keep playing DH until 756 and 2200 RBIs.
this is the more honourable way to go out. no stat chasing, just a final season in front of his home franchise.
@@gabrieldsouza6541 He's hitting 270 with 23 and 84 rbi's. If he can play this well why quit. He's getting a divorce, he'll need the money
Maybe he will do a Tom Brady and unretire. If he played to 45 he could have the all time home run record. The DH has extended his career. Pete Rose played to age 45. But I think he wants to call it career.
Hes got that magickal "barely swings the bat" kinda swing and just launches them!
Greatest power hitter since Alfredo Griffin! Wow
If he's done this year then I hope he can raise his average 4 points & get to a 300 for his career. He never should have left St.Louis. His already historic numbers would be so much better.
What a great time to be a Cardinals fan!!!!
He needs to keep going. He can still hit. Hes the only one who can get 756 and not take steroids
The record is 762
*
would need 2 more seasons to beat 762
@@acevehe 3 more. He’s not averaging 30 home runs a season for the next two season which is what he’d need to tie and break the record.
That’s 2 more incredible seasons and 3 realistically. Diminishing returns at his age so it’s possible it would never happen if he stayed till 50
What a class act!! Thank you, Albert
Absolute pleasure to watch this guy play.
He is the home run champion.
Drug free champion.
The others should be ashamed.
Congratulations
Good for him
🐐🐐🐐 Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols!
GOAT
Todos los fanáticos que han tenido el placer de estar en ésos partidos donde Pujols a conectado jonrones á partir del 699 han gozado como si fuese del equipo de ellos perdiendo por 3 final del noveno séptimo juego de la serie mundial se lo han gozado gracias a dios y a caballo de batalla de la Rep. Dom.
Yo viví en la Era de Albert Pujols...
This fan would like to Albert to see Albert play one more season because I would like to see Albert catch Barry Bonds.
Trout will never reach such heights.
My tio Albert!
Every day one home run 😂🎉
The way pitchers were grooving pitches down the stretch is pretty obvious. Two mid nineties fast balls and a breaking ball all belt high. Gee those are real tough to hit out
If he plays 3 more seasons he’ll be the all time hits leader
He won’t sadly.
And no he would need at least 300 hits per season at that rate… Pete Rose has 4,200 hits…
He’s not going to play 3 more seasons let alone hit 300 hits per season
That’s unlikely, but he could totally take the number one spot on the career hr and career rbi leaderboards. Only would need 20ish hrs and 30ish rbis per season. With one full season of how he’s been hitting recently he could do them both.
@@charliewion8925 I agree.. You do mean Hank Aaron's 755, right? I'm 63. That's the #. We saw it all.
Great job AP
One more season. Pass Ruth in HRs.Passed him in RBIs.come on Big Al we all would love to see you for that and the Cards will be in the hunt next season and you will be a good factor in that.Dodger fan saying this. Go for it.
El mejor bate dominicano sin dudan 😊😀💪
Ese chamo debería jugar otro año más para que supere varios récord para quede plasmado más aún a la historia de la MLB y proclame como el mejor latino de por vida 👍
Hall-of-famer right here
Wow. What can I say except Great Player
_At 42 he has better numbers in this 2022 than more than half of all MLB players_
We want one final run
GOAT⚾
I recall Red Berenson scoring six in a game for the Blues way back - I remember Bob Gibson mowing down the Tigers in a complete game of about 2 hours, on October radio among the rotting leaf smell of E Dalhousie NS hunting camp - but this must be the greatest sports highlight day in St Louis history
What a beautiful person
While I never got to see a home run in person....He did autograph a bat for me....He is such a nice guy....I would love to see him come back next year....Pull a Tom Brady and say he still loves playing and wants to play one more year. He could play next year, they showed there is a winning formula where he can play at a high level. His swing is just epic....
Imagine where he would be if he had never left St. Louis and went to Anahiem then had those down years.
I don’t think living in St. Louis automatically cures/prevents plantar fasciitis
@@eriklakeland3857 No, it doesnt. But staying would have done a lot for him mentally and emotionally. He went west for the money and it didn't end up being what he thought it would be.
@@mazrimtaim1264 fair enough
the man is a legend Nuff said
Albert Pujols, Hopefully The Hall Of Fame Will Be Calling For You.
What a curtain call he is having.
What a magical end to his career, I love baseball.
Amazing
Dang! If only he’d come back for another year to pass up Babe Ruth on the HR list! Either way, great career! 👏🏽
I'm hoping he pulls a Tom Brady and says "Actually I'm coming out of retirement for another season....I can still play and I still have fun....I will play another season"
Maybe it's a difference between the American League and National League, pitchers seem very willing to pitch to Albert, American League pitchers won't give Judge anything close to any pitches across the plate
I'm afraid the nostalgia for these days will last for years once this is over, to witness something like this. The great Albert Pujols at 42 leading the NL in homeruns after the all star break to get to 700 now 703 with time to get to 705 before he retires? Can't say enough so I'm leave it at that
I say go out on top Albert, awesome season!
Why didn’t he do that in Anaheim.
Him and Ruth both hit their final Home Runs in Pittsburgh
the crowd response to the HR seems more muted than the 700 in LA lol
I say come back another year and snag the record. No regrets.
This guy just keeps on ticking on like a TIMEX ⌚ WATCH.
Albert Pujos snapped the 0 for 8 against Mitch Keller with home run #703 and 2,216 RBIs passing Bath Ruth.
Don’t retire!!! 14 doubles from being in the 700/700 club( Doubles & Homers). He would be the first. 12 homers from passing Ruth. If I were Cardinals, & every other team that needed to sell tickets I would be doing everything I could to bring him back for 1 more year. Imagine how many more tickets the teams that would face the Cardinals would sell to see Puljos pass Babe Ruth for 3rd all time in homers. The guy deserves a retirement year. I am not a Cardinals fan, and I know he is not a numbers guy. MLB you got to bring this guy back for one last year!
