Right after Manny's 500th... - Page 2 - Talksox

Manny will hit the HR, he'll get cheered like crazy, he'll get his curtain call. they'll play all the messages and finish with A-Rod, who the fans will boo and get a massive kick out of it and then everyone at Fenway will sit down with a big smile on their faces

Manny has never been a conventional athlete, why should a ceremony honoring his accomplishment be conventional?

Sosa?

Palmiero?

Bonds???

I thought for a second it would be a nice tribute to have a short clip with congratulations from each of the surviving members of the 500 Club, there's around a dozen or so still alive. But the lists of recents unfortunately reads like Canseco's book.

I like the opportunity to possibly boo A-Rod more. But at this pace it won't be till the all-star break when Manny hits two more!

Did this happen?

It happened in Baltimore, so probably not.

They were using specially marked baseballs so they could find it in the stands though.

That's pretty dumb. Maybe Manny and A-Rod are buddy's who knows.

They are, I believe.

I'd be A-Rod's buddy. I hear he know a lot about night life, especially in Toronto.
