Hes never smiled so big in his life. At least not on camera lol. You could tell how excited and happy he was.

Thank you Albert Pujols for enriching baseball life for me and thousands of others. When you first came up I was naive, thought someone like you comes around every 10 years. Now your in a club only 4 people have made it to in over 200 years of baseball. What a player, even better human, thank God for Albert Pujols!

As of NOW (September 23, 2022), he has hit 466 homers with the Cardinals, 222 with the Angels and 12 with the Dodgers. He has 3,377 hits, has walked 1,370 times and has a career batting average of .296

On homer 300 I still miss that sound when a run was scored. I want it back!

I have a little story for you. I am a lifelong Cardinal fan, and I am no spring chicken. The first time I saw him swing a bat years ago I said to myself that is the best and purest swing I have ever seen. It was poetic to me as a baseball fan. In the off season last year, I posted a big rant on KZread to the Cardinals orginization as to how I would be absolutely done with the Cardinals and baseball if they didn't bring Albert home to go off into the sunset with dignity and love in the place and with the team and the fans that knew and loved him best. Everyone said he was washed up. Everyone said there was no way it would happen. But it did. I don't think I have ever been happier than to see Albert hit his 700th in a Cardinal uniform. Thank you Albert for all the memories and for having the grit and the guts to come back home for this last run. I will never forget it. God Bless you.

As an Astros Fan, I still remember his home run off Brad Lidge in the 2005 NLCS game 5, we were 1 out away from a World Series, but at least we won the game after that and were the 2005 NL Champions, Astros only team to make the WS as both NL and AL

It's crazy that both #100 and #700 happened at Dodger Stadium, and it's crazy that both #400 and #500 happened at Nats Park.

Gah, he really turned into a fat fecker by his early 30s, by the time he left the Cardinals---and it cost the Angels almost $150 million during the worthless last half of his contract with them. He was carrying the equivalent of two fully dressed Thanksgiving turkeys strapped to his gut. What a shame.

He's the best power hitter 2000- until. No P.E.D. The expectations of the "Angels contract threw him off because they always made it about the money. He deserved to get paid at that time and went for the bag. Hindsight he never requested a trade or didn't play his hardest. Injuries caught up with him. Definitely had a wonderful career. Hall of Fame next stop. Definitely getting a statue outside the stadium.

Even people who aren’t Cardinals fans respect Albert so much and even young fans look up to him as inspiration to maybe start playing baseball. Congratulations on 700 Albert 🎉!

Barry Bonds hit his first homer on my birthday in 1986 and when he hit 700, I thought I'm never going to see someone do this again. I have never been so glad to be so wrong.

One of the best pure right handed hitter of our time, he can hit for AVG contact and power, one of the best to ever do it, what a career Albert Pujols has had.

As a long time Dodgers fan, I have always thought of Albert Pujols as one of the Dodgers´ toughest and worthiest opponents.

Pujols: "I raised Ohtani‼️" What was considered a joke in Japan was not quite a mistake.😅 Below is today's interview with Ohtani. (Pujols' influence on his first-year hitting modification) “I decided to do the heel down after watching Pujols. I was very much influenced by him and the way he practices, but I thought there was some secret to why he does it for that long. It was a great experience and an honor to watch him up close."

Damn that’s crazy. He hit 100 dingers in less than two seasons.

Just woke up at 4am to work an 11 hour shift on my day off, on my birthday...was not feeling it! Checked you tube to see if Albert had gotten any closer to 700....and he did it!! So pumped!! Thank you Albert!! What a Season!

One word. Legend. This man was my childhood, mimicking his batting stance as well as Sosa and Griffey jr in little league. Him crushing my dreams against the Astros in the NLCS 😂 I’m so happy for Albert and so glad he did it with the team he started with. This will probably be the last 700 hr we’ll see in quite some time.

I remember when he hit the monster shot off Lidge in the NLCS and I as an Astros fan was depressed for weeks, so happy to see him hit #700, will be a long time till anyone even gets close.

Me too brother. Another Astros fan here. Albert was an Astro Killer. On more than one occasion Albert has destroyed an Astros season with his moon shots. I said it each time the Astros pitched to him in clutch situations..."Don't pitch to him! Walk him!" And everytime...Pujols made the Astros pay. Depressed beyond words. But much respect for Albert...he is legit. Caused me many sleepless nights. Congratulations to Pujols...a well played career.

We may have just witnessed the last player to hit 700 bombs. Tearing up a little man this guy has been playing since I was 11

The Machine is still working💯💪🏽

I can't think of anyone else in the MLB who deserves reaching a milestone putting him in elite company with only 3 other hitters in the history of the sport. Growing up a diehard loyal Cardinals fan an hour and a half west of St Louis, for Pujols to come back one last year before retirement where it all started, hitting number 700 in a Cardinals uniform made it even more special. Back with Yadi and Waino for one final run....you couldn't write a better story. Thank you for the memories of not only hitting 700 back in a Cards uniform Albert, but for the two WS titles you helped STL win, the passion for which you play the game with and what you've done for us fans. The energy and smile you bring onto the field and in the clubhouse are both part of your legacy. I'm not an emotional ol boy at all and I hate crying but I'll probably choke up when you and Yadi play your final game together this year, hopefully after a WS titi. Watching Wainwright pitch his last game if he decides to retire after the season or comes back for another year is going to be emotional too. Thanks for the ride #5. Cardinals nation lives you.

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Pujols, I grew up watching you from your first game till your 700th HR. You’ve been a huge inspiration my entire life! Love you Albert

it's honestly very fitting for him to hit #700 at dodgers stadium. LA still has love for Tio Albert, and the fact that he did it in his third home, with his OG team, that something really special. we miss you here in LA Tio Albert.

Orgullo Dominicano 🔥🔥🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 “The Machine” ladies and gentlemen

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.

What an honor and privilege it has been to watch you play baseball all these years. Thank you Albert Pujols 🔥🔥🔥

Got to meet him back in 2014. Nicest guy ever. Took a picture with me and signed a card. I’m an Astros and Royals fan at heart but Albert Pujols is my favorite player to ever play the sport. So happy for him.

Congratulations to Albert! And you gotta love the bond he and Yadi have

I wish i was able to witness this in stl congratulations Alberto

What a legendary career!

Albert , what a time to watch him hit all these home runs , congratulations

I may be a Jays fan from Toronto, but you gotta love Albert. Well respected by his peers and opposing organizations. He's had a great career. It was nice to see him on a bit of a hot streak lately to reach this milestone too. He's still got a bit left in the tank. Get em Albert 🥊💥

living legend.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to watch Albert's entire career. One of the true great giants of his Era and baseball history. It's not just the Stat lines, they speak volumes all on their own. Its the way he carries himself the entire way though, a pure class act through and through. The only other player I've ever seen be so Naturally talented was Ken Jr, and I don't think it's a slight to have your name mentioned alongside the kid. Albert, thank you.

The Machine🐐💯🇩🇴 the best🏋

I am a fan of the Cardinals team and a follower of Albert Pujols as a player and I was sad when he left it for the Angels team and I prayed that he return again to St. Louis God answered my prayers, and wrote the end of his history with us. And if I wish he would stay for another season with us, his giving is still inexhaustible

Man when I got my signed Albert Pujols bat....He is such a nice guy.....He was when he signed it for me.....And it's locked away.... Because he has always been a favorite and his bat, especially to meet him and get a signature....Just wow....I still hope he pulls a Tom Brady and unretires and says he still wants to play next year....But I've been really hoping he could get to 700 because his home run swing is a thing of beauty......And the fan who caught his 700th ....He said "She can keep it, it's for the fans" He still is such a nice guy....While many of these pros get super ego about things....But he just plays and has a good time....Thanks Albert for the autographed bat! Still hoping you'll keep playing! Love that home run swing!

I'm crying, this is amazing. He is the reason I fell in love with Baseball. Congrats to AP

Pujols started to play when i was in diapers, being able to see his journey has been nothing but incredible, so glad he is back on our side for 700! Love you, Albert!

I think if Mike Trout or Ohtani came to STL, Albert would be interested...The cost alone for trading for those players may give Albert Pujols a fulltime DH job or perhaps Ohtani is DH and Pujols plays in hitter friendly parks/Busch Stadium to give Cardinals fans 1 last run..He's 13 homers away from 3rd, and 61 away from #1 all time, he hit 24 last year and had a great start but horrid middle and fantastic 2nd half..He did elevate himself to 4th ever in homers hit, and 2nd ever in rbis, so he's not washed up...He could keep going, but I think the Cardinals must do their part first...Pujols had 3rd best bat in 2022 for STL, but I also remember Albert Pujols promising Mike Trout to show him how to win a world series title, and If Trout came to STL, I think the opportunity would be too good for Pujols to pass up this time...

As a Reds fan, it's been a joy to watch him. I've followed him since he was a rookie in 2001, when I was 11. I'm 32 now. What a career

Simply the beast!!!

At the end Mike Trout gonna go to the Dodgers for a World Series run and then go back to the Angels for number 700!
