Albert Pujols

The crowd was already pumped up after a two-run home run off the bat of Nolan Arenado when Pujols came to bat. He then put any worries that he may not have it anymore to rest with one swing of the bat.

And the ovation he received was pretty great too.

It’s going to be fun to watch what all Albert is able to do this summer. How many records he will approach and break.

What a legend.
