Congrats Albert on #500

[Chuck]

Congrats. Pulled a 14 hour day and missed it. For those who didn't praise him in this thread before midnight get a ban tomorrow.

Don't ban me, bro!

For all the bitching and moaning that goes on amongst Angels fans, I forget sometimes that we get the pleasure of watching some of the best players to ever play. Young and Old. Trout & Pujols.

Congrats Albert.

Thx Arte.

Speaking of 500 hrs in an Angels uni, anybody know where to find that video of Reggie being a pompous dick during his mid-game interview when he hit his 500th?

[CeramicDragon]

Congrats Albert! Just saw it on replay. Standing ovation from dc.

Can't find that, but here's the home run. Bud Black was the pitcher.

I saw it live on TV, Congrats Albert!  History baby, History.

0 women have played in baseball since 1876.

There was also a girl who batted in an MLB game I can't remember her name, Kitty something. She grounded to short.

0 women have played in baseball since 1876.

 

That changes in 3003 with Turanga Leela. Amazingly, Bob Uecker is still announcing games that year.

I remember someone calling Roger Lodge before the April 8 game saying Albert would hit 500 before the end of April, and I thought this guy's as ridiculous a homer as Lodge. Glad, he was right. It's been fun to watch 8 HR's and 18 RBI's in his last 13 games.

Congratulations to Albert.  Both 499 and 500 were monsters and contributed to an Angel victory.

 

Man, do I love being an Angels fan.

[AngelsLongBall]

Faaaaaaantastic

[Troll Daddy]

Langston predicted that Albert would hit 2 hrs and the Angels would win tonight on the pregame show with Rodger Lodge.

[ScottT]

Way too many Roger Lodge mentions in this thread.  Ban me for continuing the trend.

[gurn67]

Any Dick from Whittier mentions? He called in to Angel Talk but his phone wasn't working and I was just dying to know what he had to say.

[Chuck]

Worked a 13 hour day today and missed it. Sad.

Congrats Pujols!

[ELEVEN]

Thanks for the gumball, Popeye!

Roger is a dick. Why is he employed?

[vlad27]

Congrats to Albert !!!! Such a cool thing to get to see - also a great thing to see how well he is playing this season as a whole - very very cool

Congrats Pujols!

I was in a recording session with my band and missed it too - just got home and watched my recorded version - I watched the home run 3 times and it's cued up on the dvr for my daughter to watch when she wakes up tomorrow morning

[Lou Spirito]

Roger is a dick. Why is he employed?

For the same reason T.J. Simers is employed. Sadly, this is not a joke.

[vlad27]

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...

pretty awesome

[Scott34]

You guys are welcome btw

[ten ocho recon scout]

You guys are welcome btw

nuh uhn scott, dont even try. If it werent for you, he would have hit his 600th today.

[Michifan]

What an awesome accomplishment. He's on a tear. Batting .360 over the last seven days with 1 double 4 home runs and 10 RBIs. That's what we want. Right now he's carrying the team.
