    at 7:05 he looks at the Dodger bench and expresses his gratitude and appreciation to them. It was the Dodgers who believed in him when they made the call to his agent after the Angels released him. Most in baseball thought he was done and in his own words it was the Dodgers who brought the kid and spark back to the game of baseball for him. He succeeded with them last year and honestly I think he did well enough to get one last contract with his original team. He reaches the 700 club wearing a Cardinals uniform at Dodger stadium where the fans understood the moment and reciprocated the appreciation. Shakespeare couldn't have written a better story then this. Congratulations Albert "Tio" Pujols for reaching that incredible milestone.

      I love albert but i dont think hes top 5 of all time strictly because of speed and being a first baseman. Its no disrespect either the man is a beast. But guys like mays, and griffey for example are 600 home run clubs members and are serial gold glovers at cf which is a harder position in my opinion to field. Mays also was a base stealer early in his career, a lifetime .300 hitter, and a 3000 hit club member.

Its long history and the basics of stats and the game rarely changing much like the nfl, or nba make it so that so many guys are near the top of the list.

    Congrats Albert, I still remember your rookie year when La Russa said you were the best rh hitter he'd ever seen. Man did that age well.
