I love Joey Votto.  What a good dude.

700!

 

Albert Pujols' 700th career homer | 09/23/2022 | MLB.com

 

Incredible.  What a feat.

I'd like to thank MLB for making sure virtually no one saw Albert Pujols hit his 700th home run because the game was seen by the 8 people who have AppleTV.

 

Brilliant.

Not only that , but their crappy website keeps crashing on me.

The best power hitter of his generation. 

 

Weirdest stat so far:  200 homers off lefties, 500 off righties.

I'm not sure how much value the ball has as long as he hits another.

 

 

[Alaska Darin]

Ugh.  Barroid Bonds.

At least the A's announcers were nice enough to let me know it had just happened.  I flipped over to MLBN and they were already just yakking away in the studio.

I'd be inclined to take the money and run, but I can see how making a decision on the spot without any research or tax advice (though I'm not sure how much advice there is to give; it's basically like winning a slot machine jackpot) would be daunting.  But yeah, guy would be smart to quickly get some advice and sell it.

Sad part is, he was an incredible talent and likely a HOFer anyway.  It would have been interesting to see where he ended up on these lists without the roids.

Great, great talent who ruined his legacy.  Arguably the best all-around player of his generation (an argument can be made for Griffey Jr., obviously).

He had the best feel for the strike zone a power hitter ever had.

Yup.

After watching his interviews, I have to say that Judge is one of the most likeable ball players I've seen in a long time.
