(Newser) – The wife of All-Star third-baseman Alex Rodriguez has got some fans calling foul: Cynthia Rodriguez attended the Yankees' 11-5 Sunday loss donning a tank top that read "F— You." Spectators disturbed by the message notified Yankee Stadium security officials, who were reluctant to cause a stir and took no action.

Signs and banners not "in good taste" are strictly banned at the Bronx stadium and fans can be ejected for foul language or gestures. It's not the first Post headline for the Rodriguez family: the power hitter was recently photographed heading for a Toronto hotel room with a stripper. Meanwhile, Rodriguez picked up $100K in bonuses yesterday for his All-Star voting victory.

(NEWSER) - You can stop holding your breath, world. Alex Rodriguez at long last hit his 600th home run today. It's been 12 games since Rodriguez hit his 599th round-tripper, a stretch that seemed even longer because of the hype surrounding the impending milestone. But it's probably unfair to complain too much, since he is the youngest player to ever hit 600. It's also happens to be exactly three years to the day since A-Rod's 500th homer. More»
