Another Dominican Slugger Edges Towards a Record |
|
|
Although greatly overshadowed by Sammy Sosa's run for the 600 homerun milestone, another Dominican player is on his own quest for a record. Last night Manny Ramirez hit his eighth homerun of the season bringing him to 478 homeruns in his career and only 22 away from the 500 mark. The run not only helped his team the Boston Red Sox beat the Anaheim Angels but tied him with Jim Thorne in 25th place on the all-time homerun list. Ramirez is considered to be in the running for a spot in the Hall of Fame and hitting the 500 mark would definitely help solidify his position as a candidate.
