Is Albert Pujols the greatest right-handed hitter of all-time?

Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Frank Robinson, Manny Ramirez, Mike Trout and several others all belong in that conversation, but Pujols has a spot at the table after putting the finishing touches on an all-time great career.

He began his MLB career with one of the greatest rookie seasons ever, hitting .329/.403/.610 with 37 home runs and 130 RBI, and that was the first of 10 straight seasons in which he hit at least .300 with 30 home runs and 100 RBI.

The future Hall of Famer ranks in the top 10 all-time in hits (3,384, 10th), doubles (686, fifth), home runs (703, fourth), RBI (2,218, second) and total bases (6,211, second), and he is one of only 11 players with three MVP awards on his resume.
