He is the team the future Hall of Famer played for in the first 11 seasons of his career.
Louis Cardinals, the team the future Hall of Famer played for in the first 11 seasons of his career. Pujols and the Cardinals have agreed to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million, according to a person with direct knowledge of the contract told USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale.
The former Angels and Dodgers slugger, 42, has agreed to a one-year, $2.5-million deal with the Cardinals, according to a person familiar with the deal who can’t speak publicly about it. On Monday, hours after his deal with the Cardinals became official, Pujols announced 2022 would mark his final season in the majors.
How many home runs does have in his career:
692
The 42-year-old Pujols connected for solo homers in the second and fourth innings against Arizona left-hander Madison Bumgarner to help St. Louis win 16-7. Pujols nearly hit a third homer, scorching a single off the base of the left field wall in the fifth. He capped his 4-for-4 night with a ground ball single through the left side of the infield in the seventh.
Pujols needs four more home runs to tie Alex Rodriguez for the No. 4 spot all-time. The 11-time All-Star drew a standing ovation before his first at-bat, and the cheers grew even louder from both Cardinals and Diamondbacks fans as the three-time MVP rounded the bases.
The slugger says this is his last season. Just a few weeks ago, 700 career homers looked out of reach, but the way he’s swinging the bat, it appears very much in play.
