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 KZread 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.

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..

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.

Haciendo historia albert

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 :)

What a great man

Great job AP

What a class act!! Thank you, Albert

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.

Mí admiracion Albert Pujols siendo icono de Mlb en su gran retiro del mejor béisbol del mundo

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.

Trout will never reach such heights.

This fan would like to Albert to see Albert play one more season because I would like to see Albert catch Barry Bonds.

Absolute pleasure to watch this guy play. He is the home run champion. Drug free champion. The others should be ashamed.

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
