Congrats Albert on #500

[ukyah]

i think he's 630 hits shy of 3,000 as well. he'll be the first one in the hall of fame to do that and only the 2nd player to do it. guess who the first is, and isn't in the HOF?

 

 

Hank Aaron has 3700 hits and 755 home runs, so Albert would be the second to get to 3000 hits and 600 home runs.

 

 

shit i was wrong. aaron, mays and murray all have it and are in the HOF. **** it, i'm a dick.

Albert is the 3rd youngest player to get to 500 home runs.

 

A-Rod and Jimmie Foxx were younger.

It should be just Foxx. A-Roid cheated

Wow he's leading the league now in HRs

[Sherlock31]

Grats to Mr. Pujols.

His earliest to 8 HR since 2006, when he finished with 49 HR and 137 RBI.

I know.  I already posted like 89 times about it too.  Very happy to be wrong.

Class move by Washington fans giving Albert the standing ovation.

 

History is history. They were smart enough to embrace it.

CONGRATULATIONS to Albert on his 500th HR!!!!!

 

I don't get to watch that many Angels games live on TV due to work, but I'm so glad I got to watch him hit #500 live.

[Stradling]

I was just giving you a hard time. Even in that thread you start to redeem yourself by saying something about giving him a little bit of time, if I recall correctly.

He hit his 400th there too.

[fan_since79]

More than 18,000 men have played in the majors since 1876.

 

Albert Pujols became only the 26th player to hit 500 home runs.

 

Think about that for a moment...

[tdawg87]

0 women have played in baseball since 1876.

I wouldn't be upset with those numbers

[Agalloch]

WOOT! Congrats Albert!

There was that teenage girl who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but that was during an exhibition game.

[m0nkey]

Hank Aaron has 3700 hits and 755 home runs, so Albert would be the second to get to 3000 hits and 600 home runs.

If you took away all of hank aaron's home runs and didnt count them as hits, he'd still have over 3000 hits

[Rochambeau]

Yeah, I remember her. .. Wait, no I don't.

Whoa.

 

Dude raked when he was old.  If he did that these days, he'd be accused of doing 'roids for a long time.

[fan_since79]

Yeah, I remember her. .. Wait, no I don't.

 

Jackie Mitchell, 17 years old. Big girl. Struck out Ruth and Gehrig on seven pitches, Ruth looking and Gehrig swinging. Lefty-lefty matchup.

 

[Inside Pitch]

At this pace that will be around August of next season. However, I kinda doubt he will hit 8 homers for every 20 games here on out.

 

Hater!

[Troll Daddy]

Congrats to Albert!

[Troll Daddy]

Trout who?

[disarcina]

I still think Albert goes into HOF as a St. Louis Cardinal........
