A-Rod: Best Yanks Power Start Ever

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Alex Rodriguez is the first player in Yankees history to hit five homers in the first six games of a season.

Babe Ruth never did it. Mickey Mantle never did it. Lou Gehrig never did it. Joe DiMaggio never did it. Heck, Reggie Jackson never did it.

Impressive.

As someone on Deadspin commented regarding the same stat: Ruth, Mantile, Reggie, and Gehrig would have done it, but their rings kept getting in the way...

Even A-Rod apologizer as I am, I still thought it was funny.
