Pujols sped toward the milestone Friday night with two home runs in his first three at-bats to reach career homer No. 700 at Dodger Stadium, where he called home last season. It’s a fitting stage for a fitting flourish to his career, and it had the chance of being narrated by one of the all-time legends who is also in his final season. Jaime Jarrin, a Hall of Famer and the longest-tenured broadcaster in Major League Baseball, announced he will retire at the end of this season after 64 years in the booth. He will be on the call all weekend, the penultimate weekend of the regular season, for the Dodgers’ Spanish-language broadcast, and he was set to call the third inning, when Pujols hit No.
