Albert Pujols is set to reach a few career milestones this season.

He has 475 home runs and 1,434 RBI to his credit and a normal Pujols season would have him reach 500 homers and 1,500 RBI in 2013.

"Man," Pujols said, "I wish I could explain it to people. I don't play for numbers, man. I'm weird like that. It's that I know I have so much career ahead of me, that when I'm done, hopefully if I'm alive, I'm going to have plenty of time to enjoy what I've done in this game. But right now, I don't know, that's who I am. I want to concentrate on what I have to do this year, not think about 500 home runs. That's another distraction, and you don't want any other distractions. This game is hard as it is. It's hard. It's a tough game. And if you bring more distractions, you're making it tougher."
