Alex Rodriguez needed exactly three years -- not a day more or less -- to jump from 500 home runs to 600. Reaching 700 may take a while longer. And 800 -- well, too early to think about. "So much of it depends on health," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's probably maybe going to get more days off." A-Rod became the youngest member of the 600-home run club on Wednesday,...

Alex Rodriguez added his own memento to Monument Park, even though retirement remains years off. After struggling to hit his 600th home run, A-Rod reached the milestone with his usual dramatic flair.

It’s a tough year to be a Yankee fan. With a $200 million payroll, the seats aren’t the cheapest MLB tickets, the beloved stadium is closing and the team has underperformed.

But New York Yankees tickets are still very popular with most games sold out. With the 56,000 seat Yankee Stadium closing, fans want to come one more time to the place that gave them so many memories over the years. And that may mean going to a New York ticket broker to visit Monument Park or do the roll call in the place they always have known and loved.

But it’s going to end very soon. With only seven games left, Yankee fans will say one last goodbye. It will be sad because there will be no October for the team either. If the fans want World Series tickets they will look to New York Mets tickets or Boston Red Sox tickets.

Many won’t and will forget sports until they gets New York Yankees tickets to New Yankee Stadium next year. Rather they will >find Broadway musical tickets, concert tickets for Madison Square Garden or Cheech & Chong in New York.

Whatever they look to do, these show will be more affordable New York City event tickets than the New York Yankees.
