At age 28, Pujols became the 5th youngest player in MLB history to hit his 300th home run today. He's less than one year older than the youngest player to reach the milestone; Alex Rodriguez.

Obviously if Pujols continues at the rate he's on now, he will one day reach some much bigger milestones.

Pujols is having another awesome year this season. He's current hitting .348 with a .470 OBP and a .625 SLG.

If he can keep the .470 OBP up that would be a new season high for him. His current highest OBP is .439 in 2003.

The only thing is he will not be the youngest to 500, he has four years to hit 200 that means that he has to hit 50 homeruns a season. Which is not going to happen. He is going to get older and get injured, he is going to have years that aren't great. I think he will reach 500, but not before 33.

The injury he's had, he's had for years. Wasn't he the one who had to toss the ball to Edmonds to throw when he was playing Left.

He won't get it because he's actually 47. =/
