Albert Pujols Career Finale

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Just heard this stat on MLB Network since August 10th Pujols has hit 15 home runs. The only player with more home runs during that same period is Judge with 17 home runs.

Gotta wonder if he’d consider coming back next year at this point, especially with the NL adopting the DH. 

He probably doesn’t but it’s gotta be hard to walk away when there’s still something left in the tank. 

He looks like he’s going to need wheelchair in a couple years.  I think he is content to be done this year.

Every comment he's made he has said he is committed to retiring this year, he doesn't really care about the records, he just wanted to have a chance not to go out looking broken and he's done that. I imagine he'll probably retire; it's always 'one more record'. First it was 696, then 700 and now that 714 is technically within striking distance (with another full season) I can get that there might be potential media hype, but I think he's probably hanging them up after this season based on his comments.

Fun graphic on ESPN before the Mets-Braves (tied 9-9 in season series) finale.

Most Days Between Trio First & Final Game Together:

Pujols-Molina-Wainwright 6230

Rose-Perez-Concepcion 5937

Whitaker-Trammell-Gibson 5808

Posada-Pettitte-Jeter 5507

If Grayson joined Adley-Gunnar next April, they'd need to go to about 2040, which would take Rutschman well past 40.
