Hard Ball























In New York,


Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can’t do

Now you’re in New York


These streets will make you feel brand new

The lights will inspire you

lets here it for New York, New York, New York



Lyrics from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys from the 2009 anthem "Empire State of Mind" both artists hail from the Empire State and are Yankees Fans. I am not from the Big Apple although I am Yankees fan myself and I was glad to see front man A-Rod reach a career milestone. Wednesday in Yankee Stadium A-Rod became the youngest player in the MLB history to hit his 600th career home run.
 
 
 
So let's the paint the picture the crowd is going crazy as usual they cheer him on and in a matter of moments the impossible became possible. A-Rod  hit a two-run straightaway in the center field in his first inning of a game against Shaun Marcum of the Toronto Blue Jays. So it became a 2-0 pitch over the middle of the plate with his his team mate Derek Jeter on first  and two out. He raised a hand slightly in triumph as he rounded first base, then completed his home run trot. Roc boys in the building  ha ha no seriously A-Rod is now a member of Elite Club baseball among the likes of Barry Bonds, Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Jr., and Sammy Sosa. Hopefully A-Rod continue to give us his all or another championship stay tuned I'm sure he keep us Yankees Fans on our feet.
