Albert Pujols Ties Bill Buckner For MLB Assists Record

With his flip to rookie reliever Blake Hawksworth in the eighth inning of this afternoon’s game at Busch Stadium, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols tied an esoteric major-league record. The toss to Hawksworth at first base was Pujols’ 184th assist of the season, tying Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner for the most ever by a player at that position. Buckner set the record in 1985.
