Albert Pujols is getting closer to the 700-home run milestone, but the St. Louis Cardinals veteran doesn't plan to come back for another season if he falls short.
"I'm still going to retire, no matter whether I end up hitting 693, 696, 700, whatever," Pujols told Bob Nightengale of USA Today. "I don't get caught up in numbers. If you were going to tell me 22 years ago that I would be this close, I would have told you that you're freakin' crazy. My career has been amazing."
Pujols hit two home runs Saturday during a 4-for-4 day against the Arizona Diamondbacks to give him 692 for his career.
