St. Louis Cardinals: What if Pujols had re-signed?

Albert Pujols has hit 560 home runs over 15 Major League seasons. Back in April of 2014, he hit number 500 in an Interleague match up against the Nationals in the nation’s capital. With a repeat performance of his 40-homer 2015 campaign, Albert would hit his 600th this year.

Similarly, with 2,666 career hits to his name, Albert could reach 3,000 by the end of 2017.

Albert is a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer. He’s hit more than 40 home runs seven different times in his career. When you consider the DH possibilities that playing for the Angels affords him in the latter stages of his career, 700 homers isn’t outside of the realm of possibility.
