ANAHEIM -- Baseball fans across the country fixed their attention on Angel Stadium on Wednesday night as Albert Pujols sat one home run away from becoming the ninth player in Major League history to hit 600.
The Machine drilled homer Nos. 598 and 599 in each of the Angels' first two games against the Braves. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said prior to Wednesday's series finale that he hoped No. 600 wouldn't come against his club, while reflecting on Pujols' career.
"You go back and look at the numbers he's put up year in and year out, it's something else," Snitker said.
