Alex Rodriguez breaks Lou Gehrig's career record for grand slams
NEW YORK -- Move over, Iron Horse. It took 75 years, but you've just been passed by a Maybach.
Alex Rodriguez displaced Lou Gehrig as Major League Baseball's career leader in grand slams Friday night with a dramatic home run that gave the Yankees a much-needed 5-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium.
A-Rod's blast -- his seventh of the season, the 654th of his career and his 24th career grand slam -- soared into the right-field seats on a 2-1 fastball from ex-Yankee George Kontos, breaking a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning and keeping the Yankees in the AL wild-card race with eight games left.
"You know, that means I'm getting old," said Rodriguez, 38. "It's hard to think about things like that right now. We're really on a sprint to the end here, and every win is huge for us."
