Alex Rodriguez teased a possible MLB comeback on Thursday while issuing a challenge to St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols. Pujols has been red hot at the plate of late and is slowly approaching the 700 home run threshold. Rodriguez took to Twitter to joke about potentially making a comeback and joining Pujols on his chase of 700 home runs. Of course, A-Rod finished his career with 696 homers, and Pujols is just behind him with 694, hoping to reach the coveted 700 mark before he calls it a career at the end of the regular season.
“My main man, Albert Pujols. You’re two home runs shy of tying me for 696 home runs. You see me rocking my pinstripes, and now that #13 is available back with the Yankees, I may have to make a little comeback, and race you to 700. What do you say?” said Rodriguez while smoking a cigar in a pinstripe suit on his balcony.
