Albert Pujols hit 59 career home runs vs. the Cubs, 11 more than Joey Votto, who’s next on the list among active players and who turns 39 this month.

And among the current list of active leaders in hitting homers against the Cubs, the top two guys behind Pujols have an uphill climb. In the case of No. 2 Joey Votto, he needs to pick up the pace dramatically at age 39 next year to make up the 11 to reach Pujols’ level.
