Santo Domingo.– St. Louis Cardinals, Albert Pujols blasted his 400th career home run Thursday night, being the 47th player to reach the milestone in Major League Baseball (MLB).

At only 30 years of age and 222 days old in the MLB, Albert is the 3rd youngest player-ever to make the 400 mark. Ken Griffey Jr. at 30 years of age and playing only for 141 days hit 400 and Alex Rodriguez passed the benchmark at 316 days.

Pujol at 30 years broke his three-way tie with Andreas Galarraga and Al Kaline, making it to the 47th place in baseball’s career list. After completing his swing with sheer power, the new star of MLB made a run around the field and as he stopped at the dugout, he was mobbed by his teammates.

It'll be interesting the battle between Votto and Pujols. I hope he earns it and becomes the first since Yaz in 1968.

La Russa, Pujols To Attend Glenn Beck Rally
(Washington, DC) -- St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols and manager Tony La Russa will attend the "Restoring Honor" rally Saturday morning at the base of the Lincoln Memorial in the nation's capital.
The "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" says the duo will be at the event organized by Fox News personality Glenn Beck.
The rally will take place on the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, and is meant to be a recognition of the First Amendment and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
La Russa said he and Pujols decided to attend only after they were assured the event wasn't a political rally.
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will also be a featured guest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Baseball star Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals says he's honored and humbled after receiving an award for his off-field charitable work during Glenn Beck's rally in Washington.
Pujols says he thanks God for giving him a platform through a high-profile career — and says that allows him to be more than just being a player.
Pujols has set up a foundation that helps people with Down syndrome and assist the poor in the Dominican Republic.
Pujols' manager, Tony LaRussa, says heroes often are seen as products of movies, television and fiction books, but there are real-life ones.
LaRussa says Pujols has had amazing accomplishments in baseball, but what makes him so special is his commitment to his family, faith and community.

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa introduced Pujols, who is the reigning National League Most Valuable Player, calling him a hero both on and off the field. He said Pujols' first ten years in the game have been historic, but not as impressive as his commitments off the field.
"In reality, I think most of us will agree that real-life heroes are hard to find. In fact to many, especially young people, our heroes are a product of movies, TV, and fiction books. But we do have real life heroes, and one of them is our Hope award winner Albert Pujols," La Russa said.
"What separates Albert is his total commitment to his life in and out of baseball. His commitment to his family, faith and also his tireless, in- and out-of- season commitment to the community."
