Albert Pujols wasted no time reaching the 500-homer plateau this season.
Reaching that milestone was an inevitability for him, but it took him a bit more than three weeks to get there. Albert is crushing the ball like he did in his good old days in St. Louis.
El Hombre is back.! His chronic foot sorenesss has abated and his bat appears much, much healthier as well.

Of his 500 HRs, Pujols hit 445 with #Cardinals . That total would rank 38th on the all-time list behind Bagwell and V. Guerrero (449) #angels

The only Cardinals in the 500 home run club are Pujols (445/500) and McGwire (220/563) played together in 2001 (37 & 29 HR)

42 of Albert Pujols' 500 homers have been against the Astros. That doesn't include the majestic homer in Game 5 of the 2005 NLCS.

Diedre told Albert she'd be in NY this weekend for 500. He said 'The way I'm hitting, you better get on a jet' to DC. Guess he wasn’t joking

On 4/22/01, I picked up a young Cardinal who hit two HRs against the Astros that day. 13 yrs and 494 HRs later, hes still on my fantasy team

Mythology of Albert Pujols as a saint has long puzzled me. I get one "He treats folks like crap" story after another. Have witnessed, too

Congrats to Pujols on 500. Odd thing is, I'm not sure he makes it to 600.
