If this is the final season for future Hall-of-Famer Albert Pujols, he’ll go out with a bang. He’ll be in the lineup on Thursday for the Angels, marking his 21st consecutive Opening Day start. In fact, he’s been in the lineup for every Opening Day of his major-league career. With this being his 21st start, he joins some pretty elite company.
Tonight, #Angels Albert Pujols will become the third player all-time to make an #OpeningDay start in each of his first 21 Major League seasons, joining Pete Rose and Eddie Murray.
