What I noticed about last night, and PTI touched on it last week, was the lack of buzz surrounding Pujols' approaching his 500th career HR.
20 years ago this would be national news. Sports stations like ESPN and Fox Sports would have broke away from their normal programming in order to cover his ABs live. None of that happened. All we got was the standard scroll at the bottom of the screen.
Also, from what I could tell the game wasn't even a sell out. I remember back in the day if someone was within reach of a major milestone those games would be sold because everyone wanted to be there to witness history.
Obviously the PED cloud has diluted the HR records but it's still surprising to me to see how little anyone cares about someone hitting #500.
