On Monday night (July 18), the oldest player to ever take his hacks in the MLB Home Run Derby pulled off one of the greatest upsets in the event’s history.

Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber in a tiebreaker in the first round of the Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium (live updates). The final result was 20-19.

Does Albert Pujols daughter Isabella have Down syndrome?

The 42-year-old Pujols, who was eliminated in the second round by Nationals wunderkind Juan Soto, and Schwarber tied with 13 home runs in the three-minute regulation time. Pujols then settled into a rhythm in the one-minute tiebreaker, and even with a late flourish, Schwarber was unable to keep up.

In an exclusive interview, the Dominican American revealed (We didn’t pick Down syndrome. We were chosen by Down syndrome).

Albert and Deidre Pujols have a beautiful daughter with Down syndrome, as you may know. They have a Foundation that is dedicated to the love, care, and development of people with Down syndrome and their families because it is so close to their hearts.
