Thanks for the upload. Great moment in Baseball History. Molina jumped over the rail and ran to Albert, hugging him. Love that Albert gives thanks to God each time he scores a run. When Pujols and Molina retired at the same time, the each spoke about their careers. Pujols humbly expressed his faith in and love for God. He's a great man, on and off the field.
In sports, typically the event is a run of the mill next game in a long and arduous schedule. In baseball, the regular season alone is 162 games before the post season even begins. For players often a career can span over years well into the teens. It can take an athlete most of that career to amass stats that are even vaguely mentioned by broadcasters and analysts alike. But sometimes we are treated to something great. Over long careers, stats can reach levels that seemed otherworldly when you first get started. But then you really begin to whittle away the distance between movin up on the leaderboard, and now youre in the top 10. And the hysteria begins as fans start to really pull for a player chasing those top numbers. Especially when it looks like they might have to wait another season for it. Does the player have enough time and body left to go another off season and full season. Can the fans emotionally hold out to wait for the next season to get the hype machine going again. The fans that attended this game got to witness something amazing. Even more than fans, other pros current and retired. Because they were fans too. Pulling for one of their own. A comrade trying to do the improbable. While in the last decade, multiple HR ganes are a lot more a regularity, these 2 particular HRs were special. They put a man on a list for an accomplishment that till that night in well over a century of professional baseball only 3 other mrn had done. The other side is the pressure the athelte feels that he must get it done. And while Albert said he was treating each at bat as just that, they were much bigger. Because all the fans there got to share the elation of what he had accomplished. The reiief and excitement he had to feel with that final crack of the bat when he knew undoubtedly that he'd gotten all of it. The giddy little boy inside him that dreamed of making it to the show as he rounded the bases. The overwhelming joy he felt as he hugged his teammates and his family. Most of the opposition tipped their hats smiling and enjoyed the magnitude of what they too got to be a part of. And even the pitcher who gave up that homerun couldnt feel too ashamed. He was as big a part of that moment as Albert himself. The spectators roared their ovation for what seemed like a lifetime. Moments in sports can often seem larger than life. Just like when the Cubs won the WS in 2016. We were allowed to share with so many around the world all at the same time. The moment can be so grand that it feels like our victory. We saw new young fans that had just developed their love of a team. We also saw the elderly who stood by their boys for decades. We saw them beeakdown in the uncontrollable relief in that they had waited so so very long to see a moment that perhaps they had lost faith in. And even that being said it has been 7 years since that night they won. Just like it has been a while now since HR 700 seen here. Yes the game will go on, and people eventually change the sublect to other players and other goings on in the game. But as cliche as it sounds.... you will always remember what you were doing, the night Albert Pujols joined the 700 HR club.
Ive known Phil Bickford since he was about 13 years old - His dad took him to all his baseball games in Ventura CA - Me and his mom are good friends ...
Cuando alguien que ya era una LEYENDA, se supera así mismo uniéndose con el homerun 700 a los 3 dioses del 3er cielo del Béisbol. Ahora son 4. y lo serán por MUCHO t i e m p o.
I remember watching him take batting practice in dodger stadium, earlier in his career. What a talent! You can’t help but wonder, if he had stayed leaner, how many more he could have hit. Even if he ended his career, where’re he did, he could have had a little extra quickness & mobility. How many more!?
EL MUCHACHO DE UN BARRIO POBRE DE SANTO DOMINGO --QUE IBA CON SU MADRE A VENDER EMPANADAS --- AL ESTADIO JUAN MARICHAL DE SU CIUDAD, MIRAR DONDE HA LLEGADO...EL TRABAJO, LA DICIPLINA Y EL TALENTO CONVINADOS ..GRANDE ALBERT.
One Former Angel(Albert Pujols) takes another Former Angel(Andrew Heaney) deep for number 699. Pujols could have also taken Heaney deep for 700, but the Dodgers down 2-0 at the time brought in Phil Bickford to pitch to Pujols in his second at bat which was Home Run Number 700.
Got to give it up just this once for the Dodger fans for giving him a good ovation.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Pujols what a man!!!
It is sweet god gave him one more good year so he could do this.
And nobody EVER accused this guy of using PEDs. Just an amazing, God-given talent. A class act all the way.
Aside from Busch, Dodger stadium was the 2nd best place for 699 and 700. Incredible reaction from fans and history was being made.
Almost cry seing that what a legend albert pujols
Top 5 best hitter all time. Slow as hell but one of the smartest base runners ever Cardinal for life baby

I mean, how can you not love that guy?
You can tell Pujols’ heart was always in St. Louis! He didn’t even do much as a temp with the Dodgers!
We’ll miss you Albert and Yadi
The perfect music

I would have gone and taken my family and Jackie to this
セントルイスの英雄
My favorite ball player he is awesome
성실하고 참 대단한선수임 확실함. 자기관리도 잘하고 이런선수 참 대단하다고 생각함.
cool beans
If you look up class act in the dictionary right after the word is a picture of him.
When that base ball player runs around his gold necklace was moving around it was like too loose for him.
What ???? Who cares ?
Dope💯
John Williams never did a baseball movie
This man is all natural, no cheater like many fraud power hitters!
Orgullo dominicano
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO THROW 3 STRAIGHT JUNKERS TO PUJOLS ????
Why are people scrapping so hard for the 699 ball? It really is just another HR.
Doesn't matter man and wouldn't you fight for a ball hit by an amazing player
You would have done the exact same thing
ㅇㅅㅈㅅㅅ
ヌートバーがいた！
And some he was on roids Please my dude was chubby like me as a rookie
