And how many of them was him recognizing when the pitcher plain missed. Seems majority of them the catcher was set up waaay away from where the pitch ended up. My all time favorite player doing what he always has in rhe uniform he's meant to where
@@elijahthegreat2023it wasn’t that it was not hit at Busch stadium but the fact that it was on Apple TV so the cardinals broadcasters could not call it. The reaction from the dodgers crowd was really good though.
Took my 2 boys to see their first mlb game at Pittsburgh when he hit 696 and they really got excited after that. Was a great experience and a great time with my boys. Loved every minute of it.
I'm a big St. Louis Cardinals fan. So, I'm very happy for Mr. Pujols for becoming the 4th MLB player to join the 700 home run club. Congratulations, Albert. All of the Cardinals fans are very proud of you. The Cardinals players are very proud of you too.
My best life moment of MLB was the first time I watched a game life at the Yankees stadium 1985 until the 700 Home runs of Albert Pujols. Thank you Albert!!!!!!!
Incredible stuff. Reminds me of David Ortiz's final season. Pujols deserves a unanimous 1st ballot induction into the HoF. Greatest hitter the past two decades.
Unanimous 1st ballot for sure. Greatest RH hitter to ever play the game, no comparison. Albert struck hesitation and fear into damn near every pitcher he faced because they knew they had a 1 in 3 chance of him taking the next pitch deep, striking out, or getting a base hit. This man was unanimously FEARED by damn near every pitcher he ever faced
Two cool facts about Albert's homers this year: 1) Only four were hit before the All-Star break. Two of those were in the same game, and one of those was off a position player. 2) The Cardinals have only lost one game this season in which Albert hit a home run; his second, back in April.
I f**king love baseball and Albert! El Hombre!!! This is why baseball is the best! Only baseball can bring a grown man to tears. Tears of absolute joy! Thank you, so much, Mr. Pujols! You've provided us Cardinal fans, and just baseball fans in general, with so many wonderful memories. We cannot thank you enough!
I'm a lifelong Padres fan, but this man is the epitome of what Baseball should be. Hard work, humble, steady production throughout his entire career. Truly earned the nickname "The Machine". It's been so fun to watch! I'm glad he got the 700 mark, I wish he had another year or two to make a run at Bonds.
who cares... Bonds was a big phony. He shouldn't be part of the club. In my eyes he never hit 700 nor bested 61 in a season. McGuire and Sosa should be scrubbed from the records, as well.
@@ubernate860 ok so this is a serious debate among the men in my family. Bonds, McGuire and Sosa all cheated, no doubt about it. But to say that it didn't count is up for debate. At the time they supposedly started using steroids they were not illegal. The league banned PEDs in 1991 but didn't even begin to test for them until 2003. So basically they were legal until 2003, because they were not enforcing the law they had made. The other side of the argument is what do steroids do, they make you STRONGER. They do nothing for hand eye coordination, ability to make contact, Pitch detection, etc. The tools needed to be a great hitter were there, they just added an extra 40-50 feet onto the ball every time they hit it. Again this is a hot topic debate, opinions sway wildly to either side depending on the arguments made for or against. Please feel free to join in and help prove or disprove the point!!!
@@NemosNightmare - Those guys were enhanced, but they also saved baseball. While I consider Aaron to still be the true career home run king, baseball was dying a slow death until McGwire and Sosa (and later Bonds) started hitting 60+.
Albert Pujols should get a unanimous vote when he gets inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Anybody who doesn't vote for him for the HOF is a damn fool!!
He will be the third player in 700 Club to be in the Hall. In all honesty, I think Bonds may never get in not because I don't like the guy but the voters will never give him a chance because of the allegations.
It’ll be a miracle. I mean Ken Griffey Jr wasn’t even a unanimous vote (which is crazy). Pujols SHOULD be, but you know how these clown voters in the media are.
Being that I'm born and raised in the STL, where taught to "root for the home team" which for us means the Cards. I even have a Cardinals tattoo. It's kinda normal to represent the city here. But, to see all these Cardinals fans across the states? Cardinal Nation? It really makes me proud 😁 Let's go Cardinals!!!!!
Doesn’t matter who your team is. When your a fan of baseball, you can’t help but be a fan of Albert pujols on this historical run for 700!!! What a ball player! What a career! What a legend! Albert Pujols is baseball!
he is STLs michael jordan..when he retires and the full stats and documentaries are made it will be unreal we are all lucky witnesses.forget how good of a person he is too with his special needs philanthropy etc etc DEFINITELY best player of our gen maybe all time
congratulations to Albert Pujols for 700 home runs that's major accomplishment. I'm not even a cardinals fan either but I was still rooting for him to get it before he retired at the end of the season I'll be very surprised if he's not the player of the week he deserves it
He comes back to STL 5 years earlier........no COVID year........he's knocking at Bond's door no doubt..... Most exciting Cardinals season of my lifetime!
Albert is once of a lifetime player he was my favorite player and will probably always Will be he changed the game and will probably never have his records broken. The impact he brought to game will never be forgotten how many people love albert and all the fans will never forget this season one the greatest to ever do and will never be forgotten in baseball
I was up the 3rd base line slightly back of the Rockies dugout for 690 and GOD DAYUM did Busch erupt, even being a midweek game so close to back 2 school season.
It was absolutely crazy how hot he got and how much he carried that Cardinals team. It was the last year Arenado and Goldy hit well together and if they couldn't get the job done, you could wager your wallet on Albert. Watching him hit the second half of that year was like watching him when I was a kid. Magic. Pure magic. Sure, you can break every AB down to a statistic but the way that each AB made you -feel- is indescribable. The stats were great, too, though! I will forever credit the Dodgers organization and fans for helping Albert love the game again. That team's deployment of him as a LP specialist made him worth signing for a playoff-bound Cardinals team. I think that organization and their fans helped "tio Albert" rediscover his love of the game. If he wasn't gonna hit 700 at home, I'm glad it was in Chavez Ravine. More than anything, I'm just grateful I got one last year with one of the greatest hitters of all time.
Este hombre es un guerrero, una leyenda de todos los tiempos, nuestros nietos y sus nietos escucharán hablar de este gran pelotero que siempre dió todo por su equipo ... HALL OF FAME
Bello hermoso, en el béisbol nunca había visto algo tan bello y hermoso como esto. Mi otro momento favorito del béisbol fue mi bello trofeo ganado de manera invicta en el WBC 13' esos dos momentos serán inolvidable para mí .🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watch this, then go back and watch any home run he hit before this. Every time, he knows immediately that it's going out. It's the same step, turn of the head, and toss of the bat. You can tell when somebody gets ahold of a pitch, but Albert knew on instinct. Absolutely one of the greatest to do it, I'm grateful to have seen him play on a few different occasions in Anaheim.
i remember earlier in the year people were doubting him saying it’s unlikely he will get to 700 , those same exact people in the comments praising him now 🤦🏽♂️
I would like to offer my Congratulations to the one and only Albert Pujols on reaching 700 career Home Runs joining Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth in the 700 Home Run Club and soon gonna be in the Hall of Fame. And I hope he and his Cardinals teammates can make his journey to the World Series in Albert's final season! Good luck to Albert and his team and make their 11-year World Series Championship drought come true!
I was thinking that nobody mention that he played in a era with probably the best pitchers in MLB history. He faced Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Clayton Kershaw, CC Sabathia, Justin Verlander, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson. Just to name a few
God I wish He'd come back next year...12 away from passing Ruth...That be historic achievement...He could definitely do that....How far past Ruth not sure...But if he smacks 30 homers, he's just 31 away from Bonds 🤯
Everybody, please pay attention to the score on these games when he hits home-runs.
How MEANINGFUL the home-runs are is also relevant.
Good point!
Literally only hits Home Runs when the game is on the line. Guy is a MACHINE
I was going to say the same
And how many of them was him recognizing when the pitcher plain missed. Seems majority of them the catcher was set up waaay away from where the pitch ended up. My all time favorite player doing what he always has in rhe uniform he's meant to where
👀
Once he started getting close to the 700 mark, I enjoyed no matter the stadium all the fans attending were cheering for him!
I got to witness 690 in person. even at 60% capacity(school was back on) Busch went NUTS
The best part of this is that it’s not just a “padding numbers” kinda run, he’s hitting meaningful big moment homeruns to help the team win.
What's remarkable: The dude is 2nd all Time in Total Bases. He's in the Mount Rushmore of Hitters in baseball history.
One of the few literal Gods of the game
If not for all the injuries he had while in Anaheim, I'm very confident that he breaks Bonds' all-time HR record.
@@philipdawson7800 imagine if he never left st louis
MLB ruined his 700th for STL. our own broadcasters couldn't call it because apple TV got it...
I wish Dan McLaughlin got to call it, but that’s just unfortunate timing. I was lucky to have Apple TV so I could see it live.
On behalf of all STL we turned TF up for his 700th was not ruined at all
@@elijahthegreat2023it wasn’t that it was not hit at Busch stadium but the fact that it was on Apple TV so the cardinals broadcasters could not call it. The reaction from the dodgers crowd was really good though.
The call was not bad tho, randazzo stepped up for the moments
Agree! It just doesn’t have the same feel as listening to cardinals broadcasters calling it.

700 homeruns the fourth man to do that should prove he is an unanimous 1st ballot hall of fame with a doubt
Over 5 solid hours of running the bases from his home runs. Incredible
Well, he is the second-slowest runner in MLB (Yadi is first); it takes him approximately two minutes to round the bases once.
@@bigbigbigdoug he didn't have to run fast after knocking them in the stands. He could've walked the bases if he felt like it.

Brought tears to my eyes man. ..GREATNESS

Desde RD contento todos con la maquina Dios lo siga vendiciendo 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Guy has such a clean swing, combined with just being a brute of a man. Has let him keep his bat into an advanced age.
Just hearing the names he’s passed this season is mind blowing. Most extra bases. Games played. And on and on. Wow.
He has the career repertoire of a literal God of Baseball
I've been watching Albert play since Spring Raining, 2001.
He's not just making records, he's been carrying the Cardinals
Albert hasn't lost any power. Matter of fact, I feel like he's more of a power hitter now than ever.
Brilliant player, and an absolute legend! 💪💪 I'm sure even opposing teams and fans are rooting for him to reach that 700 goal! 🔥🔥
It’s Sir Albert to me. He’s Royalty when it comes to baseball. So happy he got to 700. He earned it.
Sir? Try *King* Albert.
That's *KING* Albert, good sir...
Watching his home runs again .How Sweet!
He comes back to STL 5 years earlier........no COVID year........he's knocking at Bond's door no doubt.....

There will NEVER be another RH hitter that even TOUCHES the greatness of Pujols. He will stand alone in Cooperstown as a testament to the game itself
9:10-9:14 that was an awesome catch by the fan! i love when ppl make web gems! lmao!
He wasn't just hitting homeruns. He was hitting CLUTCH homeruns.
Been such a joy to watch his career. Congratulations Mr Pujols
The fact that he’s doing this without performance enhancing drugs like steroids is AMAZING. Mad respect.
The greatest
And how do you know he isn't doing it without steroids? LMAO.
@@greatestnitemare6626 how do you know he is? Question goes both ways
@@greatestnitemare6626 he’s been doing this forever. He’s not judge that just starts hitting 70 hrs. Ask judge that question lol

Unbelievable

What a legend.
It’s doesn’t matter what team you pull for, every true baseball fan was/is a fan of Albert this season.
So awesome to see this happen in my lifetime! Absolute legend!
It was so great seeing him go out this way. If anyone ever deserved it, this was that man.
I am so happy for Albert and for the Cardinals for bringing him home.
Albert’s return to St. Louis is the only upside to the universal designated hitter, and I’m more than content with that.
Classy response from the Dodgers and their fans. Thanks for recharging The Machine!
La Fokin Maquina 🇩🇴🔥
684- watched live. I could not care less about the outcome of the game. That made my day LOL I was jumping up and down
you can see the stands getting more and more crowded as the hype builds

Greatest baseball player ever
Let’s go Albert! Congrats on the 700 mark🙂
ok its a great time to be a baseball fan we have albert doing this, Vladdy Jr,Aaron judge, Shohei Ohtani and many more once in lifetime players
" It's like you never left " - tears...

I love how an entire community came together to watch some old, paunchy guy cement his place in history. I love baseball so fu*king much
0:50 A home run so towering that the brewers lost a run
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved how everyone shows so much respect for the game. Amazing

Now do a video of all of his home runs 1-700
According to Statcast,Pujols’ spring speed is about 22.9 feet/hour.
It takes him 26sec. run back to home plate.
700*26=18200=about 5 hours=video long😮
Worth every second
God bless you Albert pujols 🙌🏽
I was at numero 700 i was at the dodgers game it’s just crazy how Albert Pulos is the 4th MLB player in all baseball history to do it

Man if he didnt give up on life for half a decade by going to the Angels I wonder what his end of career stats would look like 0.o
11:31; probably my favorite pujols hr of all time
It’s a good one. However I think the one off the tracks in Houston is possibly the biggest HR of all time.
One of greatest last season we will probably ever witness.
I don’t want this season to end.
Dios Patria Libertad
Albert Pujols es el mejor bateador de la historia
Dios bendiga a Albert Pujols
The fact he was cranking bombs well over 400' at the end of his career 😮
Great video! My only wish is to have specific dates stamped at the beginning of each homer
He is on 🔥
It's the fact that when it comes off his bat, something that looks like a line drive to left field ends up being like, 458 ft.
So glad Pujols was able to get to 700!
Love that Bumgarner didn't even turn around. Just looked up and knew
wonderful to see Albert honor his lover after hitting the HR!
I was thinking that nobody mention that he played in a era with probably the best pitchers in MLB history. He faced Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Clayton Kershaw, CC Sabathia, Justin Verlander, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson. Just to name a few
Here in October now, it's 701 ⚾️
Chills.. What a season for St Louis and the mlb!
God I wish He'd come back next year...12 away from passing Ruth...That be historic achievement...He could definitely do that....How far past Ruth not sure...But if he smacks 30 homers, he's just 31 away from Bonds 🤯
I love getting 30 seconds of ads after every 3rd home run
If The Machine Isn't In The Hall Of Fame. Cardinal Fans, Dodger Fans, And Angel Fans Will Be Mad.
That swing. The man finishes one-hand, holding probably a 32oz bat vertical.
He just might be the best right handed hitter to ever play the game
