It’s starting to feel a little bit like 1998 again in St. Louis, isn’t it?
Sure, Aaron Judge is the only one in baseball who is chasing the single-season home run record (which is 73, not 61), but Albert Pujols’ quest to hit 700 home runs for his career feels significantly more urgent.
Judge may have another crack at Barry Bonds’ record. Pujols has made clear he intends to retire after this season whether or not he becomes the fourth player in MLB history to reach 700.
