Is He A True Yankee Yet?

Overshadowed by Dioneer Navarro's walk-off homerun in the 10th and a Yankee loss, Alex Rodriguez hit a 3rd inning grand slam last night, and in doing so, became the first player in the history of the game to have 50 homeruns, 150 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in the same season.

His RBI total (151) is the most for a Yankee since Joe DiMaggio in 1948 (155), and his run total (139) is most by a Yankee since Rickey Henderson in 1985 (146).

Not a bad year.

No. Not until he wins a World Series. I love him, but Donnie Baseball is the only one who can really be a Yankee legend without a ring. Also only 4 years on a team doesn't make you a true anything.
