Albert Pujols was arguably the best player of the 2010s. He was the first basemen on a team where for the first half of the decade he was joined by other stars such as Larry Walker, Jim Edmonds, and Scott Rolen and for the second half he was joined by solid players such as Chris Duncan or Ryan Ludwick.

If Albert Pujols was on the team you had a chance at the playoffs. His career number are excellent, hitting .300/.379/.624 with 656 homers, 2075 RBI’s, 3202 hits, and 1828 runs scored. But from 2001-2010 Pujols was on track to be possibly the greatest of all time. For those seasons he hit .331/.426/.624 averaging 43 homers and 45 doubles to go with 128 RBI’s and 124 runs scored per 162 games.

During that time he won 3 MVPS was an All Star 9 times, won 6 silver sluggers, and 3 gold gloves. Since then his stats have slipped considerably, since 2011 he has hit .263/.320/.461 averaging 32 homers and 109 RBI’s. He is still hitting homers which is why he is still playing but I think he only has few 20 homer season left in him. Albert Pujols is a Hall of Famer no question, hands down. But we only could imagine if he would have kept going like he was going in the 2000s. Thanks for reading.
