Albert Pujols Reacts to Fan Keeping 700th Home Run Ball

Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols blasted two home runs against the Dodgers on Friday night in Los Angeles to become just the fourth player in MLB history to reach 700 career homers.

The historic moment came in the top of the fourth inning with runners on second and third base, when Pujols drilled a slider from Dodgers pitcher Phil Bickford deep to left field for a three-run homer. The 42-year-old rounded the bases with a smile on his face before celebrating with Adrián Beltré and his teammates back at home plate.
