Alex Rodriguez finally tied Willie Mays on the all-time home run list. Will he and the Yankees now find themselves tied up in another off-field battle?
A-Rod hit his 660th career home run Friday night while playing the Red Sox, tying the “Say Hey Kid” for fourth place all time.
He hit a 3-0 pitch off of Junichi Tazawa in the top of the eighth inning at Fenway Park, sending one over the Green Monster in left field to put the Yankees up 3-2.
Now that A-Rod has reached the milestone, the slugger and his team might find themselves embroiled in a fierce battle over the $6 million bonus written into a marketing deal between the player and the club.
