ANAHEIM – As hard as Albert Pujols tries to focus on the present, and not history, sometimes there’s no avoiding it.
After Pujols hit two more homers in the Angels’ 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night, passing Reggie Jackson to move alone into 13th place on the all-time homer list, the questions came.

About the math and where he might end up on the all-time list.
Pujols, whose homer total now stands at 565, wanted no part in any of it, but he did allow himself a moment to talk about history.
