A ‘T’ party for A-Rod’s 600

It was the shirt heard ’round the world.

Just moments after Alex Rodriguez clocked his 600th home run yesterday, Yankee Stadium vendors went into overdrive selling the official $25 commemorative T-shirt.

“AROD 600 Home Run Merchandise Available Now,” proclaimed the center-field scoreboard — and within 15 minutes, they were sold out.

There are four main stores at the Stadium, and according to employees, each store was given about 1,000 shirts.

Dominic and Gilda Puccio, both 43, were two of the lucky fans to grab a $25 shirts.

“They were selling them as fast as they could pull them out of the boxes. It was crazy,” Gilda Puccio said.

The souvenirs, which had been collecting dust throughout A-Rod’s 12-game dinger drought, were produced several weeks ago.

Joshua Kukowski, 24, of Pennsylvania, said there was no question he needed to own an A-Rod shirt after Rodriguez blasted a two-run shot to center in the first inning of a 5-1 matinee victory over Toronto.

“This is historic,” he said.

The $25 shirt is available online at retailers such as Modell’s and Sports Authority.

Unofficial vendors outside the Stadium said they’d begun to think this merchandise bonanza would never come.

“I just kept waiting and waiting,” said Latif Cuthbertson, 38, who sets up shop across the street. “Then I get the phone call from a friend in the Stadium telling me that he hit it. I made my phone call and the shirts were here in 10 minutes.”

Cuthbertson said he almost instantly sold four dozen shirts, although his are a $10 knockoff of the official souvenir.

“The people out here can’t afford $25 for a shirt,” he said.

Ramon Garcia, 45, another vendor, said that after days of disappointment he had thrown in the towel and gone home.

“I was in my house and when he hit the home run,” he said, “I ran out of there — in my wheelchair.” He and his partners had 60 dozen $10 shirts to sell.
