A-Rod One Away from 600 Home Runs:

Author: Michael Licata

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.
