Tyler Kepner in the NY Times noticing the Yankees aren't keeping a toteboard countdown for Arod's upcoming homerun milestone, a response from Arod:

• "“Being in the middle of a pennant race and being in the middle of team goals keeps you away from that,” Rodriguez said."

Kepner mentions this type of thing is common with other teams.

• (It also gets lots of publicity for the "stat compilers" as the TV cameras promote it). sm
