Albert Pujols; the best player ever?
At the age of 27, Albert is entering his 7th full season of professional baseball, all with the St. Louis Cardinals. We here at www.albertpujolsclub.com thought we would put Albert's career so far into perspective compared to four of arguably the best baseball players of all time. We will break each down individually, and are going to assume that our boy Jose Alberto Pujols played until the age 40, which is 13 more full seasons, which gives him 19 total years, and using Albert's averages so far to determine where he will fit in.
Albert Pujols Career Stats: 6 seasons 933 games 3489 at bats 748 runs 1159 hits 260 doubles 12 triples 250 homeruns 758 rbi's 493 walks 394 strikeouts .332 batting average Babe Ruth's Career Stats: 22 seasons 2503 games 8389 at bats 2174 runs 2873 hits 506 doubles 136 triples 714 homeruns 2217 rbi's 2062 walks 1330 strikeouts .342 batting average Hank Aaron's Career Stats: 23 seasons 3298 games 12364 at bats 2174 runs 3771 hits 624 doubles 98 triples 755 homeruns 2297 rbi's 1402 walks 1383 strikeouts .305 batting average Ted Williams' Career Stats: 19 seasons 2292 games 7706 at bats 1798 runs 2654 hits 525 doubles 71 triples 521 homeruns 1839 rbi's 2021 walks 739 strikeouts .344 batting average Joe Dimaggio's Career Stats: 13 seasons 1739 games 6821 at bats 1390 runs 2214 hits 389 doubles 131 triples 361 homeruns 1537 rbi's 790 walks 369 strikeouts .325 batting average Albert Pujols Career Stats(year 2019): 19 seasons 3038 games 11042 at bats 2360 runs 3668 hits 819 doubles 38 triples 796 homeruns 2396 rbi's 1559 walks 1252 strikeouts .332 batting average Now, we understand Albert could get hurt. His numbers could go down. His numbers could go up(scary thought). But we are just using his averages through his first 6 years. If these were the case: Albert would play in more games, and have more at bats then all of them, except Hank Aaron. He would be ahead of all of them in runs, hits, and doubles. His triples would of course be lower than all of them, but we all know Albert is not a triples guy, if he is at third base, chances are his great baserunning instincts will take him all the way home. He would smoke all of them in homeruns(almost 800), and have more rbi's than all of them. Bottom line: Albert Pujols has been, and has a chance to be one of the, if not THE best baseball player to ever play the game. Stay tuned - APCman
