You are looking at a ticket from one of the most historic home runs in baseball history. On August 4, 2010, Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th career home run — a grand slam off Blue Jays pitcher Shaun Marcum in the 1st inning — becoming only the 7th player in Major League Baseball history to reach the 600 home run milestone. The crowd at Yankee Stadium erupted. This ticket puts you in the building for that moment.
The Historic Moment
A-Rod's 600th came in dramatic fashion: a grand slam in the first inning, clearing the bases and sending the sell-out Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy. Rodriguez joined an extraordinarily exclusive club of 600-HR hitters: Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey Jr. (630), and Jim Thome (612) were the only others to have reached the milestone. A-Rod did it at age 35, in pinstripes, at the new cathedral of baseball in the Bronx.
The 2010 New York Yankees – Defending World Series Champions
The 2010 Yankees were defending the 2009 World Series title won in the stadium's inaugural season. The roster featured Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Canó, Curtis Granderson, CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera — one of the greatest collections of talent in recent Yankees history. The defending champions provided the perfect stage for A-Rod's milestone.
New Yankee Stadium
Opened in 2009 to replace the legendary original Yankee Stadium (built 1923), the new ballpark was the most expensive ever constructed at the time ($1.5 billion). Section 416 sits in the upper grandstand with panoramic views of the Bronx. The stadium was already host to a World Series title — and now, in just its second season, a 600-HR milestone.
