Albert Pujols Belts Home Run Number 400!
At just 30 years old, Albert Pujols is an absolute beast in the batter’s box. He might just be the guy to challenge for the all-time home run record. With a little luck, and some good health, he could beat Barry Bonds record. That is if we are still calling Barry Bonds numbers records.
The home run he hit today is the kind of homer you want to hit to reach a milestone. He just didn’t enter the history books…he kicked the doors wide open with some serious style.
In the fourth inning of the Cardinals’ game against the Nationals on Thursday night, the slugger obliterated an 0-1 fastball from Jordan Zimmermann, drilling the pitch into the right-center-field seats.

Washington center fielder Nyjer Morgan appeared to think for a while that he had a bead on the ball, but ultimately watched helplessly as it soared several rows deep into the stands.
Pujols is the third-youngest player in Major League history to reach the milestone at 30 years, seven months and 10 days. Only Eddie Mathews and Alex Rodriguez hit 400 at an earlier age. Only four players in the history of the game reached their 400th homer in fewer at-bats than Pujols, who got there in career at-bat No. 5,615.
It was Pujols’ 34th long ball of the season and his 10th in 21 games this month.
