“He’s got an ERA now.” Freaking hilarious.

I would be VERY surprised if they let Pujols in the hall of fame with those pitching numbers.

At 4:05 - that safe call was the difference between a career 0.00 and 36.00 ERA 😂

One of those RARE times in baseball when BOTH teams are actually having some fun as if they were out in the backyard! Great Stuff!

I use to use Pujols in backyard baseball on the gameboy as my pitcher.

More people have stepped foot on the moon than have hit a home run against Albert Pujols in the regular season.

This is the fun side of baseball we need to see more often. Love how Longoria kept the ball. hopefully, he can get Albert to sign it haha

As a Giants fan, I’m glad we got to see this 😃😂 Thank you St. Louis, y’all got some awesome fans and a great team!

I came here to watch Ohtani hit a home run and am now watching Albert Pujols pitch.

This is why I love baseball. So many great moments in one video. The commentators were even on point. I was smiling thru the whole clip.

Lol “he wanted the ball”. What a legend Pujols

You gotta love baseball.

NEXT: Yadier Molina pitches for first time ever! while Albert Pujols as catcher lol

HISTORY MADE TODAY legandary moment, him and babe ruth are the only two players with 600+ homeruns who have also pitched.

He is a 99.9% home run 0.1% pitch great 2-way player.

That was awesome! Pujols is a legend. We Dodgers fans loved him on our team last year, and miss him but so happy he gets to end his career like this! Kudos to the Cardinals!

I'm so glad Albert is back in St. Louis. I'm a Pirates fan and would go to PNC Park every time St. Louis came there just to watch Pujols play.

This was one of the best things I've ever seen in Sports. What a legend, he has another accomplishment in his long storied career. What a fun one!

Glad he’s back. That was fun to watch.

I wish the real pitchers would work as quickly as Pujols did

Crowd was going crazy from the moment he stepped on the mound but that place would’ve exploded had he gotten a strikeout. Awesome video!

Well done Cardinals Management.. well done! THIS IS BASEBALL!! Baseball for the fans!!! Smiles and goosebumps!! LOVE IT!!

Everyone's smiles show how wonderful this is.

I just love that both teams could find some levity in this inning. It's an absolute blowout, and the team that is blowing you out puts a position player on the mound instead of the other way around, but they all had fun with it. Longoria asking for the ball after hitting the single, Pujols taking the last ball that he pitched in the game and just having an all around good time, despite the two home runs.

I stopped watching baseball several years back, but man this is some crazy stuff. Albert was so fun to watch in his prime. Very cool MLB experience

I'm an Angel fan who always appreciated Albert for his professionalism and approach to the game of baseball. He was a great mentor to Mike Trout and everyone in the Angel dugout. Thank you Albert you are truly a great player and person. HOF first ballot for sure my brother 🙏 nice pitching too, I heard the mit pop on one of those pitches don't worry about those home runs now you know it feels to pitch against you.

I love how everyone is standing like it’s the end of a playoff game

I cannot get this smirk off my face watching this. Loved every second of it. Been an Albert fan since 2001. Saw his 3000 hit, loved to see that!

Wow, his ability to drop in a strike at 54 then pump it up to 70. Just shows how good MLB hitters are that they could even make contact against this guy.

I watched this live, i wasn’t there but watched on tv. He the greatest pitcher to ever live!

This is why I love baseball! Go Albert!!

Haha! Beautiful. Pujols is officially the greatest Cardinal of all time now. Love it.

This is the kind of fun I miss in professional sports, specifically MLB.

Albert is a great guy. Loved him with the Dodgers and Angels but happy to see him finish up his career with the team he spent most of his time with.

Unbelievable to see him pitch. He sure got out of trouble after giving up 4 RBI’s. Cardinals still hold on 🥲🤣.

Tio Pujols pitching is freaking insane to see Mann how much I love this dude!! Great job Tio can’t wait to see you at dodger stadium soon!

It's always so much fun when a position player pitches. You just never know what they're going to throw, or where they're going to toss it. LOL Pujols actually did very well.

SF Giants fan here. The game was ugly for us, but this is one of those moments to just enjoy it.

Fantastic!! Nice to see something like this happen, would love to have been there! He looked like he had a blast and probably will be the memory he talks about 20 years from now.

This was awesome 😂 no ones talking about Luis Gonzales being the first position player to pitch and homer in the same game

OHTANI WHO!? Only two way player I know is ALBERT PUJOLS!

these r some of the most fun and memorable moments of baseball for me. gotta love the game

So awesome to see 2 teams having fun playing the game, I am a lifelong Dodgers fan and I can't believe I'm about to say this, but kudos to the Giants for being great sports in a runaway game and showing respect to Pujols...first ballot HOF player and an absolute class act.

I'm amazed that even at his 40s, he's still a beast! Age at this point is only but a number for him.

Happy I got to see this live!!! My dad woulda loved to see this 🙏🏽

GOD, I LOVE BASEBALL. HISTORY MADE EVERY SEASON.

to see Albert pujols pitch was another moment in my life I will never forget but here is a Pujols stroy that I dont love so much... Im a lifelong Cardinals fan and in 2001 (pujols rookie year) I was 13 and I was obsessed with baseball, (I still am) but you know what I mean, I played it, chased every minute of my life was baseball, in 01 I went to Albert Pujols bat day and I took a friend that wasnt really into baseball, well to were down by the dugout anf it was in july so it was very hot, well I left to buy us lemonade and when I came back my friend was 1 of about 15 people that Albert came out and signed my friends bat! my friend then the same day, after the game where the players come out to leave the stadium (you no longer can do this) and Albert came out, however on this time, I was on the wrong side (he only walked down 1 row and signed) I was on the opposite side. The worst part is after Albert came out, I heard the other team was signing autographs and some big names were out there, well when I came back to the Cardinals side, my friend TRADED his bat to some guy that took advantage of a kid and traded him a bat with NO auto on it and a ball with a bunch of relief pitchers autos on it, he heard the story about Albert signing the bat and when I left the guy told my friend he was getting the better deal, and got that bat and ran, I literally cried as I thought my buddy was going give it to me, he knew how much I loved Albert and He didnt collect Autos, cards etc, To this day I dont have an auto of pujols, I tried to get one years ago and got ripped on ebay, Its almost like my fav players auto is not destined 4 me. :( one day I hope to get one on a card or anything as long as it is real.I did go to fuji flim day in 01 and got some awesome 1 of kind pics of Albert, would love to get one those signed but I doubt Ill even get a auto of him at all but he will always be my fav player! go Cardinals!

Dang, Albert gave up almost as many home runs in that inning as he's hit in his career. :P As an Angels fan, I'm happy Albert is back with the Cards. He looks rejuvenated. It's where he belongs. 👏

Albert can now say he had done it all. Always loved Pujols.

I can't believe Ichiro was throwing 89 mph fastballs when he was the same age as Pujols is now.

This is the game of baseball at it’s purest. This is great for all the kids out there. You play the game because you love playing it. 👏👏👏👍

The Machine. Pitching. Amazing

Yes!! Nice to see some history made every now and then! How great was this??! Now I do not like either club but as a baseball fan thank you for this Cardinals! You have to love that even though it’s a blowout it was still fun for both sides not to mention the crowd was hyped! Albert Pujols is the man!!

Baseballs is fun. We have two-way player Othani, Brett Phillips, and now Pujols

🇩🇴Orgullo de República Dominicana! Te amamos Albert

As a cardinals fan I had the biggest laugh at my house when he walked out in like oh Lordy here we go🤣

My coach used to let me pitch in these situations. This makes me smile, Albert still enjoying the game is what it’s all about, have some fun out there boys 🇨🇦

i love how even tho the giants lost joc peterson and gabe kapler seemed to be enjoying it

Technically Albert pujols is the second pitcher to hit a home run this year

Absolutely legendary performance 👏

This just proves how hard it is to be a hitter and pitch.

Born and raised a Braves fan, but I've always had the highest respect for Pujols. Fun to watch him pitch. :p

This man is a legend and I love him!

Having a position player from the winning team pitch in a blowout game is maximum torture for the losing squad

Thanks Cardinals! Pujol is always ❤

No other word to use besides LEGEND ❤️‍🔥🙌👏👏

I think what makes this ultra rare is the fact that a position player is pitching with a lead. It's almost always the other way around.

Pitcher ALBERT PUJOLS!! This was so awesome!! What a legend!! I love how Longoria asked for the ball after he got a hit off of him!!⚾

A pure absolute legend

Add that to the resume , Albert's era climbing ⚾ 😄 got to love it !

Albert is The Greatest Baseball Player of his time and more! We, Cardinal Nation, are blessed! We love our Hometown Boyz, our STL CARDINALS! We are so proud of them 34/7/365! For generations, we have loved our STL CARDINALS! Having Albert back Home where his heart is and where he belongs is the perfect 2022 season! History is being made this season with Albert, Yadi and Waino- The 3 Amigos!!! Memories to last a lifetime...2001-2022! 🌟5🌟4🌟50🌟🥲😊❤⚾️❤

Oh my god my face lit up when I saw this

His smile and love for the game is so great to see. Albert is so special

Simply awesome lol gotta love old uncle Albert

This is Why I love Baseball, americas past time. Classic moment. Well done both teams! (Fun Fun Fun)

Ok this is good. Im a long time Astros fan that ball that he hit against Brad Lidge is still orbiting the earth. That home run killed us. He was and still is a great player good on him for even trying this.

Just makes me smile😂

This was a shocker, but so much fun !! What a dedicated man for his team!⚾

I love this whole video! They all look like they’re having so much fun

I was laughing for 30 minutes, man I love baseball.

I was at this game with my brother, we had great seats over the second base. It was a fantastic game to see not just him pitch, but also Waino and Yadi make history. We chose to stick around and it definitely paid off, I remember earlier in the night telling him about Willians Astudillo's pitching career as just a funny bit of fact. But when Albert pitched every person was on their feet my whole section was looking at the speed counter more than the actual pitches, he must have averaged 40-45mph. Every pitch was special as it was fun but also bitter-sweet to an end of an era of great Cardinals players. The night will be something I will make sure to reminisce about in to old age.

Puts a smile in my face 😊

Pujols with the high heat! 🔥😎🔥😎🔥

Wow what a pitching performance...that guy has Cy Young written all over him. ⚾🙃

Who's gonna break it to Albert he doesn't get a save here 😂😂😂😂😂

Albert pujols is the most classful player i ever saw 1st ballad hall of famer im a phils fan but respect to cards legend.

These are moments in baseball that you just love to see. As a fan of the game, ill take this everyday

All I'm saying is if he got a K, would of been perfect. Regardless, how can you not love this.

Am I dreaming???? Well, this ended how I imagined it would. 2 homeruns and a walk lol. Amazing to watch either way!

That was damn fun to watch.

this is what makes baseball great! love it

Cy Young Award Winner, Albert Pujols!!

I was at this game, a giants outfielder was pitching due to the lack of pitchers remaining. He was throwing 40-45, Then out of no where he pumped 82. 😂

i never seen someone smile so much while pitching, most seem to struggle or too focus while hitting the mark!

Wow awesome for the fans!! And Albert puljols!!

When he got to two strikes I kept waiting for him to rare back and throw some heat.

Watching this you realize that ohtani is a beast

Leyenda de leyendas,orgullo nuestro 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

Pujols doing his best babe ruth

We all love Pujols
