We wondered earlier this week why Albert Pujols’s chase for 600 home runs wasn’t a bigger deal. Now, though, it’s moot, as he’s gotten there.
There’s not a whole lot to add here, beyond the fact that the Angels were playing the Twins, the bases were loaded, and Albert Pujols had 599 home runs going into the at-bat.
Here’s the Angels call on Fox Sports West:

And there it is.
Angels lead 7-1 through 4.
That said, congratulations to Albert Pujols for reaching 600 home runs.
