Ramirez Hits No. 500, Leads Red Sox Over Orioles
Manny Ramirez connected for career homer No. Ramirez drove the first pitch into the seats in right-center in the seventh inning. In his first at-bat, Ramirez hit a fly to the warning track in left field. The drive enabled Ramirez to become only the seventh player in baseball history with 500 homers, 1,500 RBIs, 1,000 walks, 475 doubles and a .300 batting average. “Obviously, he will go down as one of the greatest power hitters of all time,” Orioles manager Dave Trembley said of Ramirez.
