Alex Rodriguez just scored a million-dollar home run after selling his Manhattan home for $6.6 million.

The Yankees slugger got less than its $8 million asking price but $1.1 million more than the $5.5 million he paid for it last year.

A-Rod never took to the 3,585-square-foot (333-square-meter), five-bedroom bachelor pad on the 35th floor of the Rushmore at 80 Riverside Blvd. -- and spends much of his free time at his swanky new Miami mansion.

The mystery buyers, a couple from Aspen, Colo., actually paid closer to $7 million because they also bought A-Rod's furniture.

Rodriguez, however, kept his art and a few of his favorite things, like a pool table.

Listing broker Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group and buyers' broker Barbara Fox of Fox Residential Group declined to comment.

Meanwhile, Derek Jeter's rival swinging 88th-floor bachelor pad at 845 United Nations Plaza is still for sale at $17.95 million. Furniture and memorabilia not included.
