A-Rod in the game for the records, not the rings

I was just reading the story about Giambi’s run-in with an intimate object that Fenway West just posted, when I spotted this nugget:

Having passed Mike Schmidt into 12th place by himself with 549 home runs, Alex Rodriguez knows Reggie Jackson is next on the list at 563.
"Reggie is next, that's the guy I really want," Rodriguez said.

So he’s not in it for the WS rings, he’s only in it for the HR record. At least, that’s the very first thought I had when I read that line.
