Alex Rodriguez needed exactly three years _ not a day more or less _ to jump from 500 home runs to 600.
Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to hit 600 home runs and did it with style, driving a pitch into Yankee Stadium's Monument Park in center field exactly three years to the day after his 500th homer.

PHOENIX — It would not be much of a stretch to suggest the Washington Nationals' entire seven-game trip to San Francisco and Arizona hung in the balance during the final two innings yesterday afternoon at Chase Field.
Potomac Nationals first baseman Brett McMillan sat by himself in a hotel room at the Frederick Comfort Inn and watched Barry Bonds, after breaking Hank Aaron's home run record, raise his arms to the sky in honor of his late father.
SAN FRANCISCO — On the day after, Barry Bonds was right back where he has been for the better part of the last 15 years: starting in left field, hitting cleanup for the San Francisco Giants and belting gargantuan home runs over the fence at AT&T Park.
SAN FRANCISCO — The ball went sailing into the night, made a beeline for the bleachers in right-center field and landed amid a sea of humanity.
