Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, when asked
about Pujols' blast, his second of the
game, said Pujols had gained a place "on
the Mount Rushmore of Sluggers." In his
22nd and final season, "The Machine"
returned to the batting cage for daily
hard work. On August 1 the Cardinals
were 3 games out of first in the NL
Central, and this morning they are up by
6 1/2. In that span Pujols has hit .301
with 14 HR, 34 RBIs, and 17 runs scored.
Devoted husband, father of 5, and
genuine Sportsman, Pujols insists he
will retire after the season ends.
"[All] I'm chasing," he insists, "is
another ring. That's what I'm chasing
for the City of St Louis and for our
fans." Here, he hits the 700th HR of his
career and 21st of 2022 with 2 outs and
2 on in the top of the 4th Friday night
in LA off Dodgers RHP Phil Bickford.
After the game, he told the fan who
caught the ball to keep it. (Photo:
