LOS ANGELES — With one swing, that familiar snap of his shoulders, and the signature glare as a baseball vanishes in the distance, Cardinals great Albert Pujols launched himself into one of the most exclusive clubs in baseball.

One inning after he launched the 699th home run of his career, Pujols hit his 700th to join Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and Barry Bonds as the only players in Major League Baseball history to reach the once unreachable milestone.
