Albert Pujols did it again.
Yesterday morning I wrote about how his chase for home run No. 700 has suddenly become the most fun story of the MLB season.
Then last night I was sitting on my couch looking at my phone when I saw that Pujols went yard again, this time with a high bomb against the Cubs at Wrigley Field and I pumped a fist. Home run chases are fun and now we have a good one to track.
Then this morning I saw this slo-mo view of his swing on that homer and I was in awe. Look at what this 42-year-old fella did to this high fastball:

Unbelievable.
That was his SEVENTH home run in the last 12 days. He’s on absolute fire and now 700 looks like a real thing that can happen.
Here’s a full view of that homer:
Home run No. 6️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ for Albert Pujols 🙌
