Albert Pujols is probably the most loving player in the entire Major League Baseball. Known for his gentle personality and calm behavior in the ballparks, the Cardinals legend once again proved why baseball fans adore him so much.

Earlier on Friday, Pujols belted two home runs in the same game to complete his 700 career home runs. What is more remarkable is that he did it against statistically the best MLB team in 2022. Yes! With Pujols having a multi-homer game, the Cardinals crushed the Dodgers 11-0 in an offensive masterclass.

When talking about Pujols’ 700th home run ball, the fan who grabbed the historic ball reportedly did not return to the Cardinals or Pujols. Instead, he preferred to keep the historic ball to himself.

As earlier mentioned, apart from being an excellent hitter, Pujols is even a great human being. Per Michael J. Durate of NBC, Pujols was completely okay with the fan intending to have his historic home-run ball. 

The Cardinals’ legend even said that if someone caught the home-run ball then it is their souvenir.

“He has the bat, the jersey, the hat, etc. He said it’s up to the fan if they want to keep it or give it to him. But he has no problem if he keeps it,” Durate conveyed Pujols’ words.

Taking to Twitter, ace MLB analyst Ben Verlander also confirmed the same. Verlander also confirmed that the fan who caught the 700th home run ball refused to return the home-run ball at any cost.

“He was approached. Offers were presented. Then left the stadium with the ball. At least for now… He’s holding on to the prized possession,” Verlander tweeted.

How much is Pujols’ 700th home run ball worth?

Per a special report in Fox Business, Albert Pujols’ 700th home-run ball is worth just only $100,000. On the other hand, Aaron Judge’s 62nd home-run ball is worth around a whopping $2.5 million. Notably, it is just an assumption.

One will get to know the real value of the ball only when the fan decides to sell it. But still, $100,000 seems a little less for Pujols’ historic home-run ball.
