Albert Pujols has 30 home runs this season. The only other St. Louis Cardinal to have such an impressive streak of hits prior to an All-Star game was Mark McGwire, though his 37-homer run in 1998 has an asterisk attached.
Pujols now has several months left to catch up with McGwire, who went on to have 70 home runs in that year’s derby with Sammy Sosa.
Can Pujols make it past the 70-homer mark? Well, Predicto Mobile community members predict that he won’t cross that threshold, with 51% voting no.
“Breaking records in baseball nowadays is akin to holding up a neon sign that says ‘Check for steroids here,’” says member “nwyd4298.”
“Pujols will not break McGwire’s record, but Pujols [will] hit over 60 home runs this season,” says “Bmay75.”
“Ldci6374” is convinced he can crank out that many hits, but “He needs the juice to do it!”
“He is so close,” says “riah100,” “I will be rooting for him.”
