Hopefully, when he hit his 500th home run, Albert Pujols sent a thank-you card to Ryan Dempster. Dempster, who retired after last season, gave up eight homers to Pujols in his career, the most of any pitcher.
You can discover who is next on that list, along with a host of other information, with our new online Pujols graphic that breaks down all 500 of his homers.
Other things of note:
--Pujols has hit more homers against the Chicago Cubs than any other team.
--Pujols’ 100th home run was hit off of Dodgers left-hander Odalis Perez.
--Over half of his home runs have been solo shots.
