Friday’s Sports

MLB

St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols said he almost called it quits this summer before going on a tear that helped him become just the fourth player in Major League history to reach 700 career home runs. Pujols told MLB.com that he contemplated an early retirement in June after another rough start to the season. The future Hall of Famer was slashing .198/.294/.336 and had hit just four homers, with 17 to go to 700.
