Babe Ruth‘s name keeps coming up in the last few weeks, today involving Albert Pujols of the Cardinals. Pujols drove in three runs in the 7-5 Pittsburgh victory, and that ties Babe Ruth for second place all time in RBI.
The 42-year-old Pujols followed with his 23rd home run of the season in the third inning, a 409-foot drive off Roansy Contreras that tied the game at 4. Pujols is fourth on the all-time home run list behind Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762).
He’s also now tied with Ruth for second in RBI (2,214) behind Aaron (2,297).

Those are the only three players to reach 2200 RBI, and no one else has collected at least 2100. Even when Pujols’s averages waned in his time with the Angels, he still managed to drive in runs. That paid off with him finishing his career in the ultra elite.
