4-Time NBA Champion LeBron James Jumps on the Albert Pujols Bandwagon With a Kind Message

.A couple of days ago, a record was made in Major League Baseball. A new name got added to the list of players with 700 homers, and naturally, legends of their respective sports came forward to congratulate Albert ‘The Machine’ Pujols. One of the big names that came forward in congratulating him was four times NBA champion, LeBron James.?

Pujols made his MLB debut in the year 2001 with the St. Louis Cardinals, and this is the 21st season that the slugger is playing. The man has already declared that he is going to retire after the season concludes, regardless of?the number of home runs he hit this season.?

How did LeBron “King James” James congratulate Albert Pujols on achieving the milestone?

Social media is a new or rather easy way to communicate these days. Therefore, King James chose to use his social platform Instagram for congratulating The Machine.?

James put on a story of Pujols with the number 700 in the background with clapping hands emojis on the top. King James chose a very subtle way to congratulate the Cardinals’ star.?

This record by Pujols is one that Major League Baseball might not see for a long time. Hitting 700 home runs in a career is not something a player achieves every other day. Many people jumped on the wagon of congratulations to ‘Big Al’ after he hit his 700th home run during the game with the Dodgers on Friday night.

Also, the Cardinals won the game by 11-0, a clean sweep.?

Aside from King James, who else congratulated Pujols?

The first person to congratulate the star was not a teammate of Pujols but a fellow Dominican slugger Adrian Beltre.? The slugger was watching the game from behind the home plate.

Not only this, Pujols’s 700 home run put a halt to the Giants-Diamondbacks game. It happened when the players literally stopped the play to watch Albert’s homerun in history.

Then came the congratulations of the former teammate of Pujols, the two-way star, and potential MVP Shohei Ohtani. The two-way star felt honored to have played with Pujols. He also felt there was a lot left for the man to achieve.
