Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez hit the 599th home run of his career on Thursday night against the Royals.

He hit the homer in the seventh inning of New York's 10-4 victory over Kansas City.

The blast moved him to seventh on the all-time home run list, behind Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr., Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds.

"Nothing is as exciting as what happened last November," Rodriguez said, referring to winning the World Series.

"Now I have a different perspective on things. Early in my career, I loved winning, but it was about accumulating numbers and hoping to get to the postseason. Now, it's about one goal, and along the way you hope to get big home runs. I'm in a different place right now, a much better place."
