Albert Pujols blasted his 703rd home run — the last regular season home run of his career — on October 3 in PNC Park. The ball landed in the hands of Mike Hutcheson, a Metro East native, who had traveled to the Pirates’ home stadium with the sole goal of catching an Albert Pujols home run. “I checked the schedule and realized they were playing in Pittsburgh for the final matchup of the year, and I was like, ‘I can probably do Pittsburgh, and nobody goes to Pittsburgh,’” Hutcheson, a Bellville native who lives in Trenton, Illinois, told the Belleville News-Democrat.
