Future hall of famer Albert Pujols announced that 2022 will be his last season in MLB on Monday.
“This is it for me,” he said, per The St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Derrick S. Goold. “This is my last run.”
Pujols recently returned to the Cardinals on a one-year deal worth $2.5 million. He spent the first 11 seasons of his career in St. Louis before he left the team for the Angels in 2012 free agency. He was there until he joined the Dodgers this past season.
The 42-year-old is MLB’s active home run leader and ranks fifth in MLB history with 679 home runs.
