534 Homers in 8136 At Bats

Fun Fact of the Day:

On Tuesday June 2, 2015, Albert Pujols hit his 534th career home run, tying Jimmie Foxx for 17th on the all-time list. But, the strange thing is, that he did it in the same exact number of at bats as Double X did. Both were the best power hitters of their era, while in their prime, and are both down in history as some of the best sluggers the game has ever seen. They both had similar numbers during their prime, .315+ batting average, 30+ homers, 30+ doubles, and .500+ slugging percentage, but who would have thought they would cross the same paths in the history books, TWICE. There have been some weird incidences in history, but this one was just a one in a million chance, however, it must have been meant to be because both first basemen are true Hall of Fame sluggers.
