Albert Pujols will not catch Barry Bonds’ all-time home run record, as the Cardinals first baseman is set to retire this year, well short of the record. He currently sits in fifth place on the list, with an outside chance to pass Alex Rodriguez for fourth if he can get hot in the next two months.
However, he does have a chance to pass Bonds for a different record.
Pujols hit home run No. 687 on Wednesday off Austin Gomber, the first time Pujols has homered off him in his career. He has now homered off 448 different pitchers in his career, one shy of Bonds’ record 449.
