Cards' Pujols hits 700th home run at Dodger Stadium, 4th player to reach mark
Pujols joined Barry Bonds , Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth in one of baseball's most exclusive clubs.
A man wearing a blue Dodgers shirt with Hideo Nomo's No. 16 on the back snagged the 700th homer ball. He was whisked under the stands as he clutched a black glove containing the historic souvenir ball to his chest. Prolonged negotiations went on before the man was escorted out of Dodger Stadium flanked by 10 security personnel and into a waiting SUV.
A 37-year-old Los Angeles man, Cesar Soriano, snagged No. 699. He turned the ball over to security after being told he could meet Pujols. Now, no one needs to wonder whether Pujols would've come back for a few extra swings next year had he finished this season at 699 or so.
