Congrats to the big guy.  One of the most colorful personalities in the history of Boston sports.  Oh, and he can hit the ball pretty well too.

Gotta love Manny.  I know numbers don't mean as much as they used to, but 500 is still a hell of an accomplishment.  This guy is one of the best hitters in Major League history.

With all great moments we've had with the Red Sox over the last few years, this one's in my top two or three still:

Congrats, Manny! Truly an awesome accomplishment ... and only the third Red Sox hitter to do so!

Below: The perfect example of a "Power Swing" !!



Watching the replay of the game right now .... sweet, indeed!
