Pujols Apparently The Man To Watch In The Chase Of Aaron

Forget Barry Bonds 708 career home runs after 20 years in baseball (0 so far in the beginning of season 21). With only five full seasons in the majors and 210 home runs (9 so far in the beginning of season six), St. Louis Cardinals First Baseman Albert Pujols is becoming the man many predict who will actually break Hank Aaron's Home Run record of 755...14 years from now...if New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez doesn't get there first with 432 home runs after twelve full seasons of Major League Baseball (3 so far in the beginning of season thirteen)...
