“Throughout his career, Alex Rodriguez has always seemed to be one step ahead of history, as he was on July 21, 2006, when he became the youngest player to reach the 450-home run milestone. Six days shy of his 31st birthday, he connected in Toronto — his 450th bomb also being the 2,000th hit of his career. A-Rod was also the youngest ever to hit his 300th and 400th homers.”
A-Rod is six home runs shy of 600, and he’s only 34.

Only one insert but a bunch of other stuff, but I do like the fact that Topps puts the date on the front of the card for the highlight (even though it probably is not a photo of the event)

I wish Topps would put the date of the photo in small print somewhere on the back of every card. It would make each card mean a little more to people who actually attend the games.
