How’s your hitting so far? Well for those who are 2-for-2, get ready

With free agency now in play, it is rare to see a player stick with one
team his entire career, or to hit 500 home runs with just one team.
Currently, only Albert Pujols is the closest to hitting 500 long balls
with his original team, the St. Louis Cardinals…although with 332 (as
of the writing of this article) he’s years away from the fabled # 500.
