Major leaguer Albert Pujols is positioning himself among baseball's elite superstars. A report by USA Today points out that the 26-year old Dominican superstar is putting up numbers that can only be compared to those of Hall of Famers, and that continued success by Pujols could land him a spot in Cooperstown. Pujols has had an incredible season in 2006, but it has been his numbers over the first six seasons that have been most amazing. At the tender age of 26 Pujols has more homeruns, 246, than home run king Hank Aaron had at the same age (219), more runs scored, 740, than all-time leader Ricky Henderson had at 26 (732), more hits, 1,139, than hit king Pete Rose had at 26 (899), and more runs batted in, 744, than Hank Aaron had at the same stage in his career (743). Pujols has been a source of pride for his team, the Saint Louis Cardinals, and the Dominican community in the United States.
