500 Homerun, Milestones

On August 4, 2007, Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th homer, becoming the 22nd player to reach the milestone. At 32 years, eight days, Rodriguez  surpasses Jimmie Foxx as the youngest player to reach the 500-mark. The homer came against Kansas City’s Kyle Davies,who was recently acquired from the Braves, in the first inning at Yankee Stadium.

A-Rod and Mickey Mantle are the only two players to reach the 500 milestone in the Bronx.
