Albert Pujols Looks Much Healthier

.

In addition to hitting his major league-leading 7th home run of the season in the first inning of the Angels' game tonight, I saw Albert Pujols steal a base last night in the 8th inning.

He looks MUCH HEALTHIER as compared to last year, when he was badly hobbled with the foot injury.

Yeah, I remember a weekday afternoon game I went to against the Angels, I couldn't believe how hobbled he looked trying to run out a grounder. I was amazed he was playing at all.

And now, he just hit ANOTHER one.

His 2nd home run of the game (so far(, and his 9th of the season.

Also ...... 500 for his career.

Congratulations, Albert.

I believe my namesake hit nos. 499 and 500 on the same day, but in two ends of a doubleheader.

Congrats to Pujols on his accomplishment.

Also, Pujols hit #'s 400 and #'s 500 in the same stadium ........ Nationals Park.

# 400 was off of Jordan Zimmerman in 2010.

# 500 was off of Taylor Jordan last night.
