Albert Pujols hit three home runs in one doubleheader on Monday for the Los Angeles Angels.

Pujols now has 549 career home runs, allowing him to pass Mike Schmidt for sole possession of 15th place on the all-time list.

He has also passed Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx, Willie McCovey, Frank Thomas on the home run list this season.

"At the end of my career -- and I'm going to continue saying this until the last time I wear a uniform -- I'm going to have time to think about it," Pujols said. "It's hard for me to think about it, who I'm passing, who's in front of me, because that's not my main focus. Arte [Moreno, the Angels' owner] brought me here, to the Angels organization, for one thing only, and that's to accomplish a championship for our fans. I'm going to try to do my best."
