Josh Fogg may have been the Rockies’ “Dragon Slayer” during their Rocktober run to the 2007 World Series, but he never could neutralize Albert Pujols.
At age 42, in his swan song season with the Cardinals, Pujols entered the weekend only six home runs away from entering a baseball galaxy where few have ever soared. Only Barry Bonds (762), Henry Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) have hit 700 home runs. Of Pujols’ 694 career homers, three came off of Fogg.
“He only hit three homers off me? Only three? It felt like a heck of a lot more than that,” Fogg said with a chuckle.
