Pujols’ exceptional career and bountiful achievements have been thrust into the forefront of baseball fans’ consciousness once again. The other members of this exclusive fraternity are Aaron, Mays, and the tainted Alex Rodriguez. A quick comparison of Pujols and the 17 right-handed hitters who have eclipsed 3,000 career hits will provide several interesting observations. He has also eclipsed 2,000 in terms of Runs Created (RC): Aaron (2,552), Mays (2,368), Rodriguez (2,274), Rickey Henderson (2,164), and Pujols (2,099). When analyzing Pujols’ career, it seems as if it falls into two distinct categories: pre-age 30 season and age 30 season to the present day.
