Albert Pujols is usually reluctant to discuss the significant milestones of his career, such as the 600th homer he hit last season or the 3,000th hit he collected in early May, until he reaches them.
But the Angels slugger and future Hall of Famer was happy to make an exception this week when asked if he knew who he was about to catch and pass for seventh place on baseball’s all-time runs batted in list.
“Yes,” Pujols said, a huge grin erasing the game face he often wears, even three hours before first pitch.
