When Albert Pujols started at first in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ win over the Colorado Rockies, it marked the 2,934th game of his his illustrious career. And with that appearance, Pujols set the MLB record for most games played by a player born in the Dominican Republic.
Pujols passed future Hall of Famer and former Dodger Adrian Beltre en route to the record.
The bulk of Pujols’ games were of course played for the St. Louis Cardinals, the club with which he won his two World Series championships. From his MLB debut in 2001 to to Cardinals finale in 2011, Pujols suited up for a total of 1,705 regular season games.
