    at 7:05 he looks at the Dodger bench and expresses his gratitude and appreciation to them. It was the Dodgers who believed in him when they made the call to his agent after the Angels released him. Most in baseball thought he was done and in his own words it was the Dodgers who brought the kid and spark back to the game of baseball for him. He succeeded with them last year and honestly I think he did well enough to get one last contract with his original team. He reaches the 700 club wearing a Cardinals uniform at Dodger stadium where the fans understood the moment and reciprocated the appreciation. Shakespeare couldn't have written a better story then this. Congratulations Albert "Tio" Pujols for reaching that incredible milestone.

      I love albert but i dont think hes top 5 of all time strictly because of speed and being a first baseman. Its no disrespect either the man is a beast. But guys like mays, and griffey for example are 600 home run clubs members and are serial gold glovers at cf which is a harder position in my opinion to field. Mays also was a base stealer early in his career, a lifetime .300 hitter, and a 3000 hit club member.

Its long history and the basics of stats and the game rarely changing much like the nfl, or nba make it so that so many guys are near the top of the list.

    This guy became my favorite player after Big Mac retired.
    Albert is the epitome of a true player.
    This made me kind of emotional, I’m 30 years old and he’s spent damn near my
    Whole life in the big leagues. Congrats!!

    I was in a commercial back in 2009 for Give Kids a Smile with Pujols. It wouldn’t be right if he ended his career with any other team, this season has truly been magical.

    The fact that no matter where he plays everyone goes crazy when he hits a home run tells me alot about the fans . Respect to Pujols

    If you looked at his totals at the All-Star break, you would've thought he had no chance of breaking 700. Dude's been on fire in the 2nd half.

    Born and raised in St. Louis, I can tell you the fans in this city couldn’t be more proud of community monument like him. Major contributor on and off the field, he’s the definition of a stalwart local hero.

    An absolute legend of the game, brought a tear to my eye. A guy that loves playing that game and played it the right way. The machine is a first ballot hall of famer if there ever was one
