Former Hays Lark and current Angels first baseman Albert Pujols continues to climb up career batting lists.

A two-run shot in the ninth inning against the Rays on Thursday put Pujols ahead of Yankee legend Mickey Mantle for sole possession of 16th on the career home run list with 537.

Pujols played for the Hays Larks in the late 1990s.

Next on the list is Philly legend Mike Schmidt with 548 career home runs.
