In Pittsburgh and his first few years in San Francisco Bonds was slender and fast, around 175, 180 pounds. He was great, but nobody would rank him as highly as Pujols during this 10 year period. Only when he blew up with 50 pounds of PED-aided muscle did he turn into Superman (he got so much bigger it was laughable). If we ignore his obvious use of PED's, then I agree that Bonds was better. That said, Albert's body never changed during his first 10-12 years and he was never accused of PED use, so I'd give him the edge. He would definitely have benefitted from PEDs...his body began to fail around his 14th year. With a little miracle medicine he could have reached 800 HRs.

As a lifelong cardinal fan growing up in Kentucky the only time I ever saw the cardinals were when they were playing the reds. I was lucky enough to see Albert Puljos send a solo shot into center field in one of the last games my dad took me too before he passed away. A great memory that I'll cherish forever. Thank you Albert.

My son and I, both Cardinals fans, were at a bar in L.A. watching along with a huge group of Rangers fans. After Albert's first home run the Rangers fans were grumbling "Don't pitch to him".. After the second HR they were screaming it. After the 3rd they stormed out of the bar.

LOL at the expression of the fan in the first row on Pujols first homer. “You wasn’t supposed to pitch the ball there!!”

One of the greatest hitters of all time. My knees hurt watching him run

"That ball is absolutely murdered." "Joe, you're on national TV, you shouldn't say 'murdered.'" "Crushed by Pujols."

Such a legend. I appreciated, for the sport, how well this guy represented baseball in the Mid-West/Central. Not every great should be a Yankee or Sox.

Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera, and Albert Pujols are the best hitters of this age. We'll never see players like them again.

such a class player. No showboating no nothing, just runs the bases and goes to the dugout.

That first HR was an absolute killer to the Rangers. You could just see it on Ron Washington’s face!
