CONGRATULATIONS MANNY!!!Wax Heaven
Tonight, Manny Ramirez joined the 500 Home Run Club with a blast off Baltimore pitcher Chad Bradford. As someone who has followed Manny’s career since he was a shy, quiet teammate of Albert Belle in Cleveland, I could not be any happier for him. He’s a true one of a kind and one of the greatest of our time. Next up on the horizon is 2,000 RBI, which Manny should reach by 2011. ...

Manny Ramirez was born on May 30 th , 1972. Today, May 30 th , 2008, Manny is sitting at 499 career home runs. You see where I'm going?

We also know that he could break Lou Gehrig's ...

But at least we had number 499, courtesy of Manny. Somehow, watching the boys fumble and bumble their way across the left coast has been made a bit easier by the fact that we're on the precipice of history. Edging ever-closer to 500 ...
