Albert Pujols became the first major leaguer to hit his 499th and 500th homers in the same game in the Angels' 7-2 win over the Nationals on Tuesday night, becoming the 26th member of the exclusive 500-home run club.
At 34 years and 96 days old, Pujols is the third youngest player to reach the 500 milestone, behind only Alex Rodriguez and Jimmie Foxx.
