Alex Rodriguez just passed Reggie Jackson on the all-time home-run list. Here it is...
1) Barry Bonds............762
2) Hank Aaron............755
3) Babe Ruth..............716
4) Willie Mays.............660
5) Ken Griffey Jr.-........619
6) Sammy Sosa............609
7) Frank Robinson........586
8) Mark McGuire..........583
9) Harmon Killebrew......573
10)Rafael Palmeiro.......569
11)Alex Rodriguez........564
He will be 34 in late July of this year. To get to 600, all he needs to do is hit 36 more homers, which he can do by next year, and 46 to pass Sammy Sosa. He can be the 5th leading home run hitter of all time by this time next year.
That would leave him with just 152 shy of the record at the age of 35, with still plenty of years left.
Love him or hate him, he will leave his mark on the game if for no other reason than his quest for the all-time home run mark, the most beloved of all baseball stats.
And he signed a contract that will keep him in pinstripes until he reaches this goal, barring any type of major injuries.
The new Yankee Stadium truly is the house that A-Rod built...
