It's crazy that Pujols will end up finishing his career with a batting average under .300

He had a career batting average of .328 when he left the Cards and it's now at .300. Unless he decides to retire after this year or has a miraculous late career resurgence, it's a virtual certainty that his lifetime batting average will fall below .300. I can't think of another all-time great hitter whose batting average numbers declined that dramatically from the middle to the end of their careers.

He was 49 when he left the Cardinals. Father Time catches up.

Really watered down the 'Machine' nickname.

A-Rod wasn't quite up there at .328 I don't think, but his numbers definitely dropped off a lot to where he finished at .295 for his career.

don't see him retiring, he is 9 home runs behind Mays for 5th all time

I think the general perception is that his production drop off is mostly related to his foot injuries.
Here is a good article https://1057thefan.radio.com/blogs/people-forget-foot-injuries-derailed-all-time-path-albert-pujols
It' sad to see the drop off, he may very well be my favorite player of all time.

Pujols' first 10 years in the big leagues were historic in pace as he reached 445 HR's and 2,073 hits by the end of his years with the Cardinals. For perspective, the other 2 modern day all-time sluggers, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez weren't even close to Pujols' pace after their first 10 years. Bonds tallied 334 HR's with 1,595 hits and Rodriguez had 381 HR's and 1,707 hits at that point. Pujols was the 2001 Rookie of the Year and a 3-time NL MVP in that span. He truly was a once in a generation type of talent.

Needs to get on The Rock's roid cycle instead of whatever bobo shite he used in St. Louis.

He’s been a major disappointment in his post-Cardinal days.
