Manny’s Perfect Night


It’s not statistically possible to have a more perfect game hitting than Manny Ramirez produced last night. He hit 1.000 percent, going 1-1 with a homerun and four RBI.

Then there’s the whole story behind the best possible pinch hit performance. He didn’t take batting practice before the game; he was pulled from the game the night before and taken to the hospital for x-rays after being hit by a pitch in the hand, he hit the home run into the Manny Wood section of Dodgers Stadium on his own bobble head night, plus all the other Man-Ram saga throughout the years that made him who he is.

This is the only guy who can be caught taking steroids, be suspended 50 games, and still be loved by his home town fans with no questions asked. It’s like the Los Angeles fans are Manny’s mother… no matter what Manny does they will always love him.

They’ll especially love him when he has a perfect night hitting a go ahead grand slam to win the game during a night when the fans were let down because it was questionable if he was going to play. His perfect night is a perfect example of Manny being Manny.
