04/10: A-Rod Hits 6th of the Year
Posted by: James
Not a full recap - just wanted to mention that Alex (age 31 season) has now tied Manny Ramirez (age 35 season) on the all-time list with 470 HRs. Next up on the list for the both of them will be Jim Thome (age 36 season) at 474. It'll be interesting to watch and see who among the three can get to the magical 500 first.
Barring injuries, those guys (as well as Frank Thomas (age 39 season) - 488 HR) will all get there eventually this season. It's just a question of when and how high they will climb on the all-time list. Eddie Murray stands at the entrance (#20 all-time) with 504 and with a total of 40 HRs total this season, A-Rod will be tied with him. Wow.
