Prior to the hit, Rodriguez struggled for form in 72 at-bats. He spoke to the press after the feat saying: "It never has bothered me. What's bothered me is when you have poor at-bats and when you chase ... when you're not being productive and helping the team win. I think, when you hit a lot of home runs, they come in bunches. Sometimes, there's droughts. I just went through one." Louis Gehrig played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees.
