MLB legend Albert Pujols is just two home runs away from history.
The St. Louis Cardinals slugger blasted a monster two-run homer on Friday night, the 698th of his storied career. The bomb leaves Pujols just two home runs shy of the revered number of 700.
Pujols’ no-doubt home run on Friday tied the game up for the Cardinals against the Cincinnati Reds. St. Louis would go on to win the game 6-5.

“It’s just being out there and contributing to this ballclub and this organization. I think just getting every opportunity that I’ve been getting, especially lately, and just trying to help this ballclub to win,” Pujols said after the game.
