Albert Pujols AKA The Machine is one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. His imposing presence struck fear into opponents. Pujols dominated the game for a decade to begin his 22 year career, and climbed many of the all-time leaderboards. Albert’s high average, prodigious power, and ability to limit strikeouts is what made him a special slugger. In addition to his offensive prowess, Pujols’s defense at first base was exceptional. When the stakes were the highest in the postseason, he played some of his best baseball. Off the field, Albert has made significant contributions through his charitable efforts. Today, we look back on his remarkable career.

My favorite player of all time, i traveled all the way from st louis to watch the game where he hit 700. I will never forget it.
-
Pujols's farewell season was one of the best. Watching him go on a roll to get 700 homeruns was incredible.
-
My favorite player of all time. What a talent. What a human being. Albert was one of the best, I’m glad I was lucky enough to be able to watch him play.
-
As a Cardinals fan it was sooo much fun watching his Career and him and Yadis last year together!
-
Best pure hitter of my lifetime.
-
Yeah Pujols was a terror in that Red Cardinals uniform..all his HoF credentials come from being on one team..that’s insane..had he not had that injury bug from those wasted years in Anaheim..it’s a bummer..glad he came with the Dodgers even for a season..never gonna forget that he hit 2 bombs off his former Cards and then when he came back to Dodger Stadium and at our expense but when he hit his 700th HR, it gave me mega chills 🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯 truly one of the best to do it at 1B and his bat 🐐 3 MVPs and twice lost to legendary seasons from Barry Bonds..if that doesn’t make him one of the best to do it, then idk 🤷🏻♂️
-
Great video. Pujols’ prime is crazy, and we may never see anything like it again.
-
I was born in 99 and I’m from St. Louis, Albert was the best player in baseball for pretty much all of my childhood until he left in 2011. Can’t even describe what 2022 meant to me
-
Prime pujos was something else. He's my all time favourite so thank you!
-
Watched him terrorize the Cubs for a long time. Loved watching him play though. That last season was so exciting just waiting to see if he could get to 700.
-
2022 will be a year i will remember for the rest of my life. I was fortunate enough to witness Alberts 695th HR(video on my channel)
-
His stance and swing always was pure machine, coiled spring!
-
I'm happy for you that your audience has been so acknowledged that you now have sponsors; you deserve it. I look forward to learning from you and enjoying the many videos going forward. Cheers!
-
When there's only been a few guys that match Pujols' greatness, it's hard to explain to other teams' fans what it was like watching him. From 2001-2011 it was like a dream, every game he made his team better.
-
I think you should look at Eric Davis. He is criminally underrated due to having to battle injuries throughout his career but he was an electric player. His return from colon cancer while playing for the O's was epic.
-
Absolutely one of my favorite St. Louis Cardinals! I have been a fan since 1984 answer Alberts run was one of the best and his return was absolutely phenomenal!❤️⚾️
-
Have to do a Yadier Molina one!! He’s well deserving. Baseball family with 2 MLB catcher brothers, has incredible highlights in the World Series, playoffs, All-Star Game, and in the WBC. He rewrote the book on catching fundamentals and his back picks are some of the most unbelievable you’d ever see. Yadier Molina!
-
I’m a lifelong Astros and Rangers fan. I hated this guy but you can’t deny his ability and accomplishments. Great video! Adrian Beltre next please.
