May 15, 200521 yr Congradulations! He is now all alone ranked #39 for all-time home runs. He was tied with Al Kaline and Andres Galarraga. Duke Snider is next infront of Manny with 407 home runs. :thumbup
May 16, 200521 yr He was the 5th fastest player to reach 400 HR's. Quickest: 1st=Mark McGwire (4,726 at-bats) 2nd=Babe Ruth (4,854), 3rd=Harmon Killebrew (5,300) and 4th= Jim Thome (5,416).
May 16, 200521 yr I'm not a big superstar guy, but Manny flat out owns. Congrats to a future 1st balloter.
May 16, 200521 yr Now lets just work on that average buddy.... 774246[/snapback] Dont forget his defense
May 16, 200521 yr Now lets just work on that average buddy.... 774246[/snapback] Dont forget his defense 774448[/snapback] I never gave a shat about a left fielders defense, especially his, since his 320 average, 40 knocks, and 125 RBIs overshadowed it...I still wont if he gets back to .300. Im giving him a free pass for a bit as his mother is very ill and concentrating on baseball isnt at the very top of his list right now.
May 16, 200521 yr Im giving him a free pass for a bit as his mother is very ill and concentrating on baseball isnt at the very top of his list right now. 774524[/snapback] His defense was never that great. He's a great hitter that might let in a run or two but will drive in 3 or 4 of his own. Super player. Kudos on 400.
May 16, 200521 yr Congrats Manny. Thx for raising the value of my rookie card a few more cents. :mischief
May 17, 200521 yr Maybe he'll start running to first base when he hits a ground ball... 774723[/snapback] He does that.

Kudos on 400.Yeah, it seems everygame I see Manny make an error he drives in twice the runs he essentially gave up. Unlike a certain outfielder.
May 17, 200521 yr Manny takes too much heat for his defense. Unlike a lot of superstars who are poor defenders, Manny at least appears to give a s**t out there, it just turns out he's not very good at it. And he MORE than makes up for his defensive shortcomings at the plate....
