Albert Pujols reaches MLB's exclusive 700-homer club with 2-HR game vs. Dodgers

Albert Pujols rejuvenated his career at Dodger Stadium last season. Now he's made history in it.

The legendary St. Louis Cardinals first baseman hit one home run, then another against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday to join MLB's exclusive 700-homer club. He joins the rarified air of Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.

The first homer came in the third-inning against Dodgers starter Andrew Heaney, a no-doubter to left field that traveled 434 feet.

One at-bat later, Pujols came up to bat again with two runners on base.
