The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and reigning National League MVP had the 5,000th at-bat of his career in the first inning of Thursday’s victory. He grounded into a double play. But what he has done in the previous 4,999 at-bats of his career puts him in elite company. He walks with giants like Williams, Gehrig and Greenberg — all of whom share something that Pujols does not: They played their careers in the American League.
Read the article for some impressive Albert Pujols stats including this one:
- Babe Ruth … 863 XB hits
- Hank Greenberg … 762 XB hits
- Lou Gehrig … 761 XB hits
- Albert Pujols … 744 XB hits
- Ted Williams … 743 XB hits
Not bad company to be with.
