Only four players in the storied history of America's Pastime have reached the 700 career home run plateau, and Albert Pujols joined that short list by hitting a pair of round-trippers on September 23, 2022. This St. Louis Cardinals jersey was game worn by Pujols during the 2002 season, the second of his prolific 22-year MLB career. White button-front home jersey has Set 1 size 48 Rawlings tagging on front tail and shows nice wear including some sweat/dirt discoloration in the collar. Cardinals birds-on-bat logo is across the chest above his number 5 in red-on-black tackle twill. Name is on a plate on back above his number in the same style. Having announced his retirement in 2022 at the age of 42, Pujols' milestone chase was one of the great moments of the season, as he hit 24 homers to run his total to 703, behind only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), and Babe Ruth (714). The future Hall of Famer also ended the season with a .270 batting average, showing that there's still some pop in the bat as he reaches the end of his magnificent career.
