A-Rod Becomes Youngest 500 HR Hit In Yankees Win

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player in major league history to hit 500 home runs, connecting on the first pitch he saw against Kansas City. The 32-year-old slugger delivered No. 500 in the first inning at Yankee Stadium, fueling a 16-8 victory as Derek Jeter greeted him with a hug. Rodriguez finished with three hits and a curtain call as fans roared, joining Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle as Yankees to reach the milestone.
