Albert Pujols Career so far

This chart shows Albert Pujols' homerun trayectory over the past 10 years, as he continues to negotiate with the St. Louis Cardinals, who are trying to maintain him in the team before he becomes a free agent at the end of the year. This is the last season of his 7-year $100 million dollar contract and the Cardinals are doing their best to please Pujols with a good offer.
