Manny Ramirez has 496 homeruns and he just needs four more to get to that exclusive club and be the 24th player in MLB history to have 500 homeruns or more. Something of topic, but ironically 24 is the number in Manny Ramirez’s Red Sox shirt, maybe that’s destiny.  Four homeruns may seem like a small number but you know what they say, an inch close or an inch too far. Manny’s last homerun was 6 games ago; ironically it was the winning hit in the 8th inning. After that it seemed like Manny’s luck went from the best player of the MLB to being expulse next game in his first at bat. Yeah… after the winning homerun day in, Ramirez was ejected from the game in his first at bat because he argued a call. I could not believe it, Manny Ramirez one of the most patient batters in the plate I have ever seen in my life. When I saw the video, I don’t know why Manny even thought about arguing that call; it was a perfect pitch in the corner. After that game he started to have not so great games. The next two games he had only one hit each game. Then he got three hits, so he is starting to get back on track. I think Manny is playing like that because he is mentally not in shape. That game where he got ejected really got to him because he was doing so well and he got ejected and next day he was going to have a day off. He is really close to get to 500, so he has to stop worrying about the past and start thinking in the present because he is close to the leadership of every batting stat in the MLB so if he just concentrates on the upcoming games and not in the past games he is going to get to 500 homeruns really quick. I think also that he might get to be the leader in homeruns and I’m certain he is going to be leader in RBI’s; I have no doubt about that. Manny’s mental illness is over and now he just has to worry about getting to that magical number on his HR career stat…500.
