With a two-run homer against the Orioles on Sunday, The Machine became the first major leaguer to achieve something quite remarkable.
Only five can match Pujols’ still-climbing homer total of 650: Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Alex Rodriguez (696) and Willie Mays (660).
Pujols checks in sixth on the home-run list. There's a gap after him. No one else has more than 630 career home runs. Only three others have reached the 600-homer mark. Amazing, even before the twist.
Only one in the six-member club of 650 home runs – Bonds, Aaron, Ruth, Rodriguez, Mays and now Pujols – managed to knock more than 250 doubles during their careers.
