Angels -- and former Cardinals -- slugger Albert Pujols has reached yet another milestone in his magnificent career. He has reached 3,000 hits, making him the 32nd player in MLB history to reach the fabled plateau. In honor of the man once dubbed The Machine, let's fire up the ol' Leaderboarding machine.

Right off the top, Pujols is the active leader in runs, doubles, home runs, RBI, walks, total bases, sac flies and intentional walks. He's led the league in runs five times, hits once, doubles once, home runs twice, RBI once, average once, on-base percentage once, slugging three times, OPS three times, OPS+ four times, total bases four times, WAR five times and on and on. 

The Rookie of the Year in 2001 has two rings and an NLCS MVP. He's one of just four players ever to hit three home runs in a World Series game, along with Babe Ruth (twice), Reggie Jackson and Pablo Sandoval. 

We're off and running ...
