Top 10 Moments Of Alex Rodriguez’s New York Yankees Career
9. Youngest to 500 Home Runs
Alex Rodriguez became the 22nd member of the prestigious 500-home-run club on Aug. 4, 2007 against the Kansas City Royals.
In the first inning with Kyle Davies on the mound, A-Rod crushed a fastball just inside the foul pole.
This not only gave the Yankees an early lead, but made Rodriguez the youngest player in MLB history (formerly Jimmie Foxx) to hit 500 homers.
