Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to hit 600 home runs and did it with style, driving a pitch into Yankee Stadium?s Monument Park in center field exactly three years to the day after his 500th homer.

A-Rod reached the milestone Wednesday after a 12-game drought with a first-inning homer off Toronto?s Shaun Marcum, according to an Associated Press report on Wednesday.
