Watch: Pujols clobbers 3-run HR for No. 599

With Mike Trout injured, there's still a reason to tune into Los Angeles Angels games.

Albert Pujols drilled the 599th home run of his career Tuesday night. The three-run jack put the Angels ahead 3-2 and brought the future Hall of Famer to within one dinger of becoming only the ninth player to ever hit 600.

Oddly enough, he hit the home run off Bartolo Colon, who indeed was pitching in the majors when Pujols made his debut back in 2001.
