ON SATURDAY, two of the all-time great players in different sports reached the mythical number of 600 in an individual statistical achievement.
In Anaheim, Calif., Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols hit a grand slam off Minnesota Twins pitcher Ervin Santana to become just the ninth player in baseball history to reach 600 career home runs.
Nearly half a world away in Cardiff, Wales, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League final to total 600 goals for club and country.
Baseball and soccer are about as different as two sports can get, and comparing the greatness of the two feats would be comparing apples and oranges.
