Tennis Icon Serena Williams and MLB Legend Albert Pujols Pull Off Shockingly Craziest Stat to Prove Their Unreal Longevity in Sports

Some things happen only in sports. Some statistics are so wild sometimes that they are hard to believe. Just like Tennis icon Serena Williams and baseball legend Albert Pujols managed to pull off some stats that might seem crazy.

From 1995 to 2022, the tennis legend broke many records. In the span of 27 years, she has seen the next generation come and play as well. It is the same with the Cardinals hitter Albert Pujols, who’s been in the game since April 2001.

Two days ago, Williams won a title, and Pujols hit a homer, and the stats of that day, August 29 itself, show their long-lasting and successful careers in their respective games.

What did the tennis GOAT Serena Williams do on August 29?

August 29, 2001, was the day when the tennis icon won the US Open, and same day 21 years later, she won another US Open. On that day in 2001, baseball player Albert Pujols hit a home run for his team. Twenty-one years later, on the same day, it happened again.

What shows the longevity of both their careers is that on that day in 2001, baseball players Vlad Guerrero Sr, Craig Biggio & Dante Bichette recorded a hit. But these three players were not the ones who had something to do on this Monday.

Their kids, who play the same game their fathers played, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Cavan Biggio & Bo Bichette, recorded a hit on the same day their fathers did. It was the same day when icons Serena Williams and Albert Pujols won US Open and hit a homer, respectively.

Williams and Pujols started playing their games when the first generation was playing. And they are still playing when the next generation is up and running.

Is tennis legend Williams about to retire?

The younger Williams sister is yet to use the word retire. But she has said that she is evolving away from the game to focus more on the family. And also on the business that she is a part of.

It is not clear when it is going to happen, but it is inevitable. Whenever the news comes of the same, it would still have a massive impact on the tennis and sports world. Accepting that the legend will not play the game professionally anymore will be hard to accept.
