Here's how close Albert Pujols is to 700 home runs

Albert Pujols is one of the greatest hitters of all time and a terrifying force at the plate.

He is about to add a rare honor to his accomplishments.

Pujols is five home runs away from becoming the fourth member of the 700-HR club. It's been something of a late career renaissance for Pujols -- his return to the St. Louis Cardinals for what he says is his final season has sparked his best offensive year in over a decade He has 16 home runs in 84 games and a.272 batting average. He has a good chance of passing Ruth for third on the all-time home run list if he plays for one more season.

At a time. We will keep an eye on Pujols' pursuit for 700.
