Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez belted his 600th Major League Baseball home run Wednesday, becoming the youngest player to reach the milestone.
The homer came after a 12-game stretch without a homer from 'A-Rod,' and it came three years to the day after he hit his 500th career home run.
Rodriguez's drive off a pitch from Toronto's Shaun Marcum in the first inning flew over the center field wall at Yankee Stadium.
It landed in Monument Park, an area where Yankees greats are memorialized, and a stadium worker retrieved the ball for him.
