Every generation has a legend that they tell their grandchildren about how great they were. Pujols is that guy for many of us.
Yes even as dodger it is heartwarming to see him prior and after and to make it at dodgers, even after Robert’s got mad he has mad love.
I was watching that game! You could say
Especially as an astros fan
This is true
Why would anyone tell their grandchildren how great a person was at hitting a ball with a stick ? Should be reserved for someone who invented the time machine or something .
Man unbelievable the love LA fans showed. That was awesome Every fan base in America was rooting for Albert. Won’t be another one like him for a long time
He was beloved on the Dodgers last year, excellent clubhouse presence and before the game he said going to the Dodgers made him fall in love for the game again. If it couldn't of been done at Busch Stadium, doing it at Dodger Stadium was a good runner-up to hit 700. Nothing but love for Tio Albert.
Pujols also said that the Dodgers made him live baseball again. Dodger fans are a class act.
@@jakenlivsmommyI would hardly say dodgers fans are a class act. Every fan of every team would have had this reaction to 700
Damn right. I wish other sports' fanbases were like this. You don't see this in football in europe
what a reaction from the dodgers crowd the respect they have for pujos is incredible a legend well deserved
Pisses me off it happened in their stadium though. FTD
He is so great in 'LA'
We loved him as a Dodger. He will always be welcomed when he returns to Elysian Park.
Will always love tio albert
We still love him
Man I loved that the announcers just went quiet and let the moment speak for itself. Dodgers fans were amazing too and made that moment more special.
Wayne is an amazing announcer and the Mets fans are going to miss him on the radio.
And the dodgers players. Applauding the man for hitting a jack on them. Because the moment and the man was just so much bigger than their team going down further.
@@markmark_65can confirm miss him a lot but still glad he is doing well with the angels
We Dodgers fans have a saying. “Once a Dodger, always a Dodger” it didn’t matter what jersey he was wearing that night, Teo Albert was one of us and we celebrated like it
As somebody who just turned 27, Pujols has been a legend my entire life. He really feels like the last one left from the era of baseball that I grew up with and loved. To see him hit his 700th homerun in his last season is a really special moment to cap one of the best careers of all time. Gotta love the man and the game, and I'll be sad to see you go but thank you for all the moments you gave us!
I just turned 29 and I’m in the same boat as you. It brings tears to my eyes because those years when he was at his peak were some of the best in baseball history. Pujols, Ortiz, Cabrera, etc…all legends of that era. It’s now coming to an end.
I feel you dude. Im 26 and Albert was the one that made me fall in love with baseball. Amazing seeing this future Hall of Famer play one last time!
lol 😂 27
28 last month I felt this
I'm in the same position man. Same age, grew up and Angels and Astros fan. Was at the game NLCS game when Pujols broke Brad Lidge. He was the menace of my childhood. An absolute machine in his prime. 2nd best hitter of my lifetime behind Bonds. An unreal talent and a class act. Awesome to see him get 700. Moments like this are what make me love the game.
What a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I’m not a Cards fan, but even I felt a bit of something when he gave Yadi that big hug. You’ve earned it, Albert. Congrats.
@UCZzqEH2LmlxyycpIidKQNeg really? No pitcher wants to give up a historic homer like this. To add to this in case it's brought up by the average illogical sports fan, the Dodgers wanted to win this game, in part, because they're close to a franchise record for wins in a season. These homers tonight were not gifted.
He is old too. He still has all that power. Wow!
Not once in a lifetime.. I saw the current Home Run Champ hit over 700. Probably will happen again in 10 years.
@@TheIncomparableGolfer Once in a life time to see it done without steroids.
@@PugsNotDrugs4 Barry never had a positive Steroid test. Just like Albert. I understand your confusion though. They must have similar doctors 🙃
Dude was on the cover of MVP Baseball 2004 and here he is still swinging away.
He has definitely stood the test of time
I loved that game!
Swing away Merrill (Albert), swing away.
Second best baseball video game ever after mvp 2005
@angelocarterm The Manny ramirez cover!
It's amazing how the crowd erupted for Pujols like he was at home. Baseball has the best fans who respect the game. What an amazing career. What a moment. Even the fans behind home plate going crazy gave me chills.
I was at the game. A heckler yelled "NOT TODAY" as Bickford was throwing the pitch that became 700. It was absolutely incredible. Even though my beloved Dodgers got crushed, it was worth it to see history like this.
A moment like this has happened only 4 times in history. I wasn't even born for the first, was a pup for the 2nd, a working man for #3, and now Albert.
This is truly special.
Well said.
Same my brother, same
Even in an away stadium the fans showed class and cheered for a living legend. The man deserves all the respect. Congratulations and well deserved standing ovation
Dude was beloved as a Dodger. Everyone loved him
This man caused me so much pain in fall of 2011 but this was so great to witness, true legend.
He's been torching my Cubs since he came to the league
@@whosyodaddy763 I think he’s referring to Pujols moving to the Angels.
@@Gemnist98 that was awful how that was handled & he is finally divorcing her
And to think this could have happened sooner had he not gone to the Dreaded Angels.
@@Gemnist98 nope, talking about the 2011 WS, outside of freese and Cruz, Pujols 3 Hr game will always stick out to me because not only was that my first ever rangers game I went to as a kid even tho it hurt because I’m a rangers fan it was incredible to see as a baseball fan live. Going 5 for 5 with 3 bombs that night was absolutely insane.
I can't count the number of times I've screamed, cheered, or threw my hands in the air as Albert circled the bases while I was at my home or in my car or work listening on the radio.
Thank you Albert. Your hard work and dedication has literally brought joy to my life. YOU DID IT!! 700 BABY!!! YOU DID IT!!!💪
I don't know, about 700?
@@scan4460 I never watched him as an Angel. And you just miss some games, so I really don't know. But it's been nearly every homer git as a Cardinal. That's the actual number.
I can relate James. I can relate.
The Lidge homer was still THE homer I will remember most. I kept telling my wife, “I just want two to get on and give Pujols a chance. I don’t care if he strikes out. I just want him to bat.” BOOM! Into orbit!!
I jumped up and down, belly flopped onto and slapped the bed a dozen times and then laughed until I almost passed out. Good moments like that, he brought us so many.
@@derrickrr5516 same. If we could send him, Yadi and Waino off with a world series win, that would be the most basebally thing ever.
A Living Legend
Class Act on and off the field. Hope that he can play another season. Break Ruth record of Hanks Aaron
I am a life long Cubs fan and the Cardinals have always been our number one rivalry but I can honestly say that I have never been any happier for one single player than I am for Albert. He broke our hearts for years but tonight he touches and warms my heart because he is a class act and he did it the right way. Congratulations to you Albert and yes even you Cardinals fans. We'll see you next year as is our usual rivalry will continue as long as baseball games are played.
This has been the best part for me. Everyone wanted him to do it. It's something for all the fans. Awesome.
Los dominicanos estamos orgullosos de este gran hombre..felicidades Albert.
Yo soy mexicano e se me enchino el pelo de mis brazos cuando Pujols metió ese jonrón! En serio que muchos felicidades a él y a toda la gente de República Dominicana por este gran logro!
@@victorino649 I got goosebumps too!!
CA girl reds fan
Congratulations ❤
Qué orgullo por todos Dominicanos y Latinos. Pujols es un gran jugador.
LA MAQUINA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Literally brought a tear to my eye. Nobody deserves that more than Pujols, I've been waiting all year for that swing of the bat. Couldn't be more happy for him....he's an absolute legend and seems about the nicest guy you could ever meet....much love #5 ❤️
An absolute legend will remember this moment always! What he has done for the sport on and off the field truly makes him one of the greatest to play baseball!
No bat flip no steroids just lots of class like he's been there 700 times before. Way to go!
The 4th player to reach that milestone. For the many thousands of players and the long history of this sport; he's just the 4th player to reach 700 Home Runs.
Nothing but absolute respect for this man.
The third one to do it without PED's
3rd
@@MJAP123 cmon don’t do Barry like dat
Add his 3000 hits and 2000 RBI.
Legend of Legends!
He wll be 100% Hall of Fame member. No doubt.

Big props to the Dodgers fans! That was an amazing display of respect!
OMG! I didn't think I would live long enough to see three guys hit 700 home runs in their careers. Amazing. Congratulations, Albert!
So you saw Hank, Barry, and Albert. Dang wish I could say that, just turned 17, and Hank is my favorite player of all time.
@@darrelleaster5381 yeah man, I saw them all do it, except the babe. I'm 62 years old.
@@darrelleaster5381 if Henry Aaron is your favorite player, you picked a great role model.
@@edwardyoung849 Honestly he really is my role model, luckily I got a chance to meet him before he passed, although I was only four and barely knew who he was at the time. Amazing player and an even better human! Also, if there somehow is someone old enough to have seen Ruth that watches youtube, I’d pay to see them comment😂
@@darrelleaster5381 me too!
I like how they played the heartfelt music. An excellent tribute.
Yeah, LA were very gracious hosts. He was a Dodger, after all. Go Cardinals, get that 12th!
Yo this had goosebumps and tears of joy running down my face...mad respect to dodgers fans also..this is the love we need to show each other daily
Way to go Albert! Dodgers fans thanks for being classy and giving Albert the respect he deserves for reaching 700!
We have nothing but love for Pujols.
We love Albert!
He was with us for a year. So he gets all the love. I love the Cards by the way. Classy organization with a lot of history.
@@MarioRodriguez-gr8wc even if he wasn’t with us last year. Albert would have still gotten all that love by us dodger fans. Albert is a hard guy to dislike. A living legend and a class act. I wish I could have been at the game but COVID Slapped me on the face. But I was still excited watching it at home lol. Congrats to Albert and all you cardinal fans.
A Dodger fan but I went to college in Missouri during the Greatest Show on Turf and when Pujols joined the Cards. Love it for Pujols!!!
That crowd reaction. Wow. Damn this generation is so lucky we have this absolute legend. Congrats to Albert
First Ballot Hall of Fame. What an awesome way to end your last season with the team you started with. Congratulations to you Mr. Albert Pujols :) ⚾️⚾️⚾️
1st ballot and also unanimous.😊
Over-rated
@@dansanta4611 what is bro smoking
@@Calebkkk. It dang sure ain't the good stuff!
@@Calebkkk. don't feed the troll. He just wants a reaction.
First it was Federer’s retirement and now it’s Albert (who is likely going to retire after this year) hitting his 700th career home run. Such an emotional day in sports for me as it’s sobering to see your childhood idols getting old but it’s great to see them go out as gracefully as the legends they are ❤
And don't forget soon it's going to be Tom Brady turn to call it career

Damn, LA with the dominant team this year, but a super respectful crowd too, well done! Good on them for that applause, I'm sure Albert felt the love during this milestone.
700 home runs. Legendary Pujols. I'll remember
The machine has just written his name In MLB history! Couldn’t be more proud, one of the most legendary players to touch the game of baseball, absolutely incredible!
Absolute legend will be known as one of the greatest ever. Thank you for the good times Albert “The Machine”Pujols
I've literally shed tears I'm so happy right now!!! My favorite player, of all time... HE DID IT!!!!! 700!!!
Absolutely incredible. Pujols is a legend. He has been crushing it for over two decades in the league and absolutely deserves to be part of the most exclusive of hitters' clubs.
I love it. I've followed his career from the beginning. What an absolute class act. A man of faith, a man of heart, integrity, and absolute greatness. What an honor it is as an Albert Pujols fan to watch what he did on so many nights over his 22 year career tonight. Congratulations Mr. Pujols you're awesome.
Incredible. The man did it in his very 1st a-bat after #699. From a Cubs fan, congratulations.
Oh man. I just shed a tear to this. Such a historical moment in baseball history. I've been following his journey to 700 only since 680 because I didn't realize how close he was. I wish I could give him a big old hug. Also congrats to whoever got that ball. Now we can safely say that Albert is done after this season comes to an end...
Since 680 😂😂
@@JoeMama-ly1kc well I didn't know he was that close to 700 before I started following.
@@PurpleMan21 oh true I thought you just started watching baseball or something
@@JoeMama-ly1kc no I've been a pretty big baseball fan for a couple of years now. I've been playing baseball for 6 or 7 years(I'm only 13) but I've only got into watching it in 2019.
@@PurpleMan21 nice dude, keep watching and playing. But also learn about the history at the same time
My respect as a Dominican goes not only to pujols but also to the cardinals for doing the right thing by bringing their beloved son back to finish what he started., thank you Saint Louis.
Congratulations Albert. Thank you for the joy you have brought to the city of St. Louis and so many other baseball cities. The memories you created will last for lifetime after lifetime. Maybe you’ll have a few playoff memories left in the tank ❤️
Congrats Pujols! Love you man! First ballot hall of famer and baseball legend! 700
No doubt!
Hard earned and well deserved for an amazing human being. Albert is truly an ambassador to the game of baseball.
The fact that molina and wainwright were still there to greet him on that accomplishment, they say there's no crying in baseball, but it brings tears to my eyes
Yeah they were there pretty much since the beginning you know it has to be special for both of them
Same happened to me broth.
@@EngelsTheTeacher same.. guessing you played baseball also..
I can’t even lie I got a lil emotional when he hugged yadi
Playing an away game and getting that standing ovation from the crowd and Dodger players was lit asf. Continue to shine Pujols 👏🏾💪🏾
I still remember him hitting 3 homers in one game in the world series. Absolute legend! 💯
Could you imagine what Vin Scully would have done with a moment like this. Filling in the silence and creating a moment that would be remembered forever.
Very true, Jack Buck would have been special also. The game was blacked out in the St Louis Area.
That would have been amazing
@@richardeast3328I can just imagine Jack Buck calling this home run, super excited like he was when he called Lou Brock's 105th stolen base 😊
As a Cards fan, we have had the privilege of watching this legendary player. Thanks Albert!
When he signed this year, I wasn't expecting this moment. But man, I wished and wished and wished that he would have a good year and give us STL and baseball fans one more year of solid memories. He's done that and then some. Thank you for everything El Hombre
2:27 Almost made me tear up 🥲
Toda una legenda, orgullo de nuestra República Dominicana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴👏👏👏👏
Props to the pitcher for actually pitching to him
Yeah he was actually pitching , no lollipops were thrown.
So proud of Albert Pujols, that’s just amazing!
Better than Judge!
@@hadleymoore4032 can't really compare a guy in the middle of his career against a guy at the end. Strange comment.
@@hadleymoore4032 It's not about Judge, but go in there and make it about judge

A pesar de que sea de los Dodgers. Felicidades Alberto, eres un orgullo para República Dominicana pero también para el béisbol latinoamericano.
Saludos desde Ecuador y felicitaciones República Dominicana por tener a un gran jugador como Pujols.
🇪🇨🇪🇨 Congratulations Mr 700🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@twerktospec y porque es un pecado Claro que no brother
Just throwing this out there. Compare Albert a year ago in a dodgers uniform to now; he lost weight, re-tooled his swing and came into this season determined to be valuable to his team. He had a slow start to the season but when the Machine got in gear he gave us one last performance we won't forget. Respect to one of the best hitters of all time, one of the best first baseman of all time and arguably the best right handed hitter to ever play.
Inmortal pelotero e inigualable ser humano.
Viva Pujols y viva República Dominicana.
His hitting mechanics are literally perfect. For power, for contact, to pull, to go oppo. The man is reminding us all of just how great he was. And in the age of peds and better testing, he’s never come up positive.
This man right here, legendary. He really is a machine.
I’m a brewers fan and I couldn’t help but love Pujols throughout his career
You know you did something amazing when you get a standing ovation at the away stadium and a curtain call ovation! Remarkable player and as a lifelong cubs fan, nothing but respect for my rivals best player
A historic moment in MLB and for the Cardinals, Albert Pujols reaches the 700 hr club. What a veteran player Pujols is and what a career he has.
I want to cry, I’ve wanted for this for so long. Congrats Pujols!!!!
Greatest Dominican Born player ever gracias por representa la patria LA MÁQUINA 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Cardinals fan here (grew up in southern Illinois across the Mississippi) ... It's amazing how quiet and respectful the LA fans are during these at-bats from Pujols, and the way they cheered was like you would for a home team run. You don't usually get to see that for an opposing player, and it really made the moment awesome to watch. I would have liked to see it happen back home in Missouri, but thank you LA fans for respecting and appreciating this milestone along with anyone else who was watching that night.
Its so heartwarming to hear the crowd go wild and him hugging everyone! Its sad im the generation thats gonna see him go😢
Grande Pujols! Toda una leyenda 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 mis felicitaciones 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Orgullo Latino! Para todos nosotros!
It's amazing how even the away team fans are willing to take an L to watch a master at work. Congrats the the man, the myth, the legend, Albert Pujols.💯💯💯
Amazing. I suddenly feel really old. I remember coming up as a rookie 3rd baseman/left fielder who was the best waiver wire pick up in this budding game called fantasy baseball. Now 700 home runs later. Amazing. Happy trails, good sir.
As baseball fan and a sports fan in general that this is a legendary historic moment...Albert Pujols is has made history he's the 4 member of 700 Hr club Congratulations Albert 💪
Even though my Giants have been a major disappointment this has been such a great year for baseball. Albert and Judge and Shohei have made this a season to remember. Congrats to all.
I agree it's the love of baseball!
Hey, your Giants are the only ones in history to have hit home runs against Pujols, AND completely ruined his ERA, so you have that going for you. 😛
I remember when he debuted for the Cardinals back in 2001, so fitting that he hits 700 in a Cardinal uniform. Congrats Albert. Welcome to Mt Rushmore of MLB.
Wouldn't have been right in any other uniform
@@seadav0183 agreed. Let's Go Cardinals
Never felt and see such emotion watching the machine do what he does best!
So happy he did this at home with the Cardinals. From a dogers fan, congratulations Albert. You were always so under appreciated.
This is absolutely beautiful. I’ve watched him since I was a kid, for our summer vacation in 2006, my parents flew us out from California to St. Louis, Missouri for one reason and one reason only.. to watch my all-time favorite athlete Jose Albert Pujols. And to see him accomplish this feat is simply beautiful. He’s always been a total class act and I’m truly blessed to have witnessed his greatness and to have someone like him as someone I look up to. Not just as a baseball player but as someone who roots themselves in their faith rather than a game they play.
brings a tear to my eyes to see this man reach this milestone and do it cleanly without any major drama!! So much respect to him from a cubs fan!
Right….so it’s not at all suspicious that at his age all of a sudden he went on a HR spree 😂.
@@i_swear_im_nota_weaniebaby757 he played for a long time and hitting 4 or 5 more hrs than last year really isn't a lot. Players always go thru hot streaks and this is his last yr so why wouldn't he have extra motivation...
Congrats to Albert on joining the 700 home run club. It’s a damn shame that he didn’t get it at Busch stadium and that he hit it on Apple TV.
It might not have been ideal, but hitting it at a packed dodger stadium on a Friday night, against a team he was a part of and respected and loved by the fans is still pretty awesome. Could've been some gloomy day game against a sub .500 team in a half-filled stadium. This still felt special.
@@senorlimpio6 true
Top 5 of All-Time, I remember when he graced the cover of MVP Baseball 04, and my personal fav one in 05 with Manny Ramirez on the front best baseball game ever made
Even with Judge and Ohtani, Albert has the best storyline this year.
It’s crazy to think I’m almost 20 years old and I was born in 2002 and this guy was a rookie hitting 194 hits in 2001…. What a career
I've been a Cards fan since I was 5 (2002) and I've grown up with Pujols as my inspiration when playing bball for 13 years through high school. This is just such an emotional moment and I love to see how happy he is. Maybe not GOAT, but he's my favorite of all time
Go to Cooperstown when he is inducted...see him in the parade...it is a holy place of baseball, and you won't ever forget it!!

I’m a lifelong Cardinals fan. I’ve been watching Albert my whole life. I was sobbing watching him round the bases. A moment I’ll never forget.
As a Brewers fan, this man has caused me much anguish over the years, however, I am putting down my rivalry right now and saying that I hope the cardinals win it all this year as a perfect send-off to a true legend of the game. Big props to Albert on 700
Nah man I'm hoping the Mets FINALLY win another world series after 36 LONG FREAKING YEARS.
@@bobbenbrown123 I wouldn't mind seeing that happen either. As long as it's not LA, Houston, or the Yankees I'll be happy with it tbh
That second one was no give me; it was an 81 mph breaking ball on the inside of the plate and Albert the great politely golfed it over the left field wall for # 700. Wow! It was nice to see the Dodgers giving him the respect for this milestone. Very classy by LA.
Crowds are truly amazing
As much as i genuinely cant atand the dodgers. As a cardinals fan ill always be grateful to their fans for giving him this moment and rewarding him as if he was at busch stadium
Congrats Albert. We might see him again in the post season.
I AM NOT A SPORTS FAN...BUT AS THEY SAY, WE ALL MIGHT GET TO SEE HISTORY DONE BY GREAT SPORTS PEOPLE...AND SO HAVE I .
WELL DONE MR. PUJOLS.
I'm so glad his family convinced him to suit up for one last crack at it. AP is special. A living legend
I heard his wife convinced him
