At Miller Park in 2007, Albert Pujols becomes the only player in big league history to hit 30 homers and have 100 RBIs in each of his first seven seasons. The Cardinals first baseman’s first-inning homer helps St. Louis beat the contending Brewers, 7-3.
After 63 years of being a play-by-play announcer, Milo Hamilton calls his final game, painting the word picture of his Astros beating St. Louis at Minute Maid Park, 2-0.

This was in 2012.
