Another milestone: Pujols reaches 2,000 RBIs

Albert Pujols recorded his 2,000th career RBI with a solo home run in the third inning of the Los Angeles Angels' game against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

Pujols is only the third player in Major League Baseball history to drive in 2,000 or more runs in a career, joining Alex Rodriguez (2,086) and Hank Aaron (2,297) in achieving the feat.

RBIs became an official statistic in 1920.

Prior to 1920, it is likely that Babe Ruth and Cap Anson also had 2,000 RBIs but their exact totals are disputed.
