I knew that A-Rod was the youngest to get to 500, but I didn’t know that it was Jimmie Foxx that he was displacing.

Wow. Mazel Tov to A-Rod. He truly is both the best shortstop and best player of his generation (being stuck at third notwithstanding.)

And Barry Bonds hits his tonight too, and ties Hank Aaron. Baseball gods have a sense of humor. Or of occasion.
