In April 2006 Albert Pujols set a new National League record for home runs hit during the month of April. Did you know that he had as many homers in April (14) as the entire 2006 Kansas City Royals team, despite him only having eighty-one at bats compared to seven-hundred twenty-two at bats by the woeful Royals?

Sportswriter Mike Digiovanna wrote the following quote in The Los Angeles Times, "The Angels' new slugger was impressive even in high school, but somehow there were 401 players drafted ahead of him." (02/11/2012, 'Albert Pujols as a man among boys', Source). We here at Baseball Almanac loved this quote and are pleased to show you a breakdown of each Major League player (we've omitted those who never made the show to make the list more manageble) taken before Albert Pujols:
