| Rodriguez isn't the only New York baseballer facing a date with density. When Tom Glavine takes the hill in Milwaukee next week he'll have a chance to become the 23rd pitcher in history with 300 wins.

| There's a chance that by the end of today's games Alex Rodriguez will have 500 home runs, Tom Glavine will have 300 wins and Barry Bonds will be tied with, or ahead of, Hank Aaron on the all-time home run list.
