It’d been more than 10 years since Albert Pujols hit a home run as a St. Louis Cardinal. After making his return to Busch Stadium over the weekend, he only made fans wait a little while to remember what it felt like.
In his sixth at-bat back in St. Louis, 3,855 days after his most recent home run in Busch Stadium as a Cardinal, the 42-year-old blasted a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning off of Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch to mark his 680th career home run.
The future Hall of Famer had launched home runs in St. Louis as both an Angel and a Dodger over the past few years, but Cardinals fans were clearly more excited to witness him do it for the home team.
