Baseball history has been made tonight.  Alex Rodriguez returned to the Yankees lineup, for the first time since injuring his hip and groin.  I wonder if he knew he’d be making baseball history tonight?

Jamie Moyer entered tonight coming off of a brutal outing against the Boston Red Sox.  I wonder if he knew he’d be making baseball history tonight?

In the bottom of the second inning, down 6-0, A-Rod stepped in to face Jamie Moyer.  For the second time in MLB history, a batter with 500+ career  home runs faced a pitcher who has given up 500+ career home runs. 

In another historical note, as of this writing, Moyer has given up two home runs, making him one HR away from tying the all-time record.  Moyer has given up 504 career home runs.

Try this trivia out on your dad this Father’s Day.

Do you know who has given up the most home runs of all time?  Or who were the first batters and pitcher with 500+ HRs each?  If you do, please leave it in the comments section.

Thanks for the read.  Please comment on if you liked the article.  Thanks.
