A-Rod One Away from 600 Home Runs:

Alex Rodriguez has a tremendous ability to make seemingly
meaningless series something a lot more special. In baseball, series
matters, every game doesn't matter for the New York Yankees. A-Rod makes
this weekend's series against the Kansas City Royals meaningful because he's
chasing baseball history. He hit home run number 599 on Thursday night,
setting up the drama for the rest of the series.
Joe Girardi, the Yankees manager wants to see the home run as soon as
possible. They saw how long it took for A-Rod to hit number 500 and don't
want to drag on. It took nine games to get to home run number 500. Don't
expect it to take that long this time. It doesn't really matter how long it
takes. The Yankees will enjoy the spike in ticket sales, along with the
anticipation of home run number 600. It's an impressive group of hitters,
Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Sammy Sosa and Babe
Ruth are the members of the group. Bonds, Aaron and Ruth are members of the
700 home run club, but that's a few years away for A-Rod.
He was the youngest to 500 home runs and barring a major injury, he's going
to pass Aaron, Ruth and Bonds. He might be the only hitter in the 800 club
once his career is over. It's good to see. Yes, he admitted to steroid use
and that era seems to be over. He's made amends and seems be happier. He won
his first title last season. It seems that his "me first" attitude left last
season. He's playing the game easier and making it look easy, leading the
Yankees in RBIs and other offensive categories this season.
Enjoy this weekend's series against the Royals. The Yankees continue to
build towards the playoffs while A-Rod gets to be the brightest star on a
great team. Enjoy watching him hit home runs, it's unsure when baseball fans
will see some one with that great power come along for quite some time.
