The king is gone but he’s not forgotten. But once you’re gone, you can never come back. When you’re out of the blue and into the black. Neil Young
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Every now and again we’ll be checking in on good ole Manny. Like when he gets his haircut. Stuff like that there. You know. Any Deadspin moment really. Or when he rakes. Been raking so far in La La Land. Raked again yesterday. Mashed yesterday. Monster Mashed. Graveyard Smashed. He’s caught on in a flash.
Yesterday, Manny hit a bomb. His 512th bomb. A bomb that ties him all time with Eddie Matthews and Mr. Baseball himself. Yesterday, Manny went four-for-five with a double and three runs batted in. Yowza!
He is now eight-for-thirteen in his three games out in Hollywood. Over the last 75 years, the only other cat to collect as many as eight hits over his first three games with the Dodgers was McKay Christensen. I mean McKay Christensen? Really? The only thing that cat ever did was pass up a million-dollar signing bonus in order to serve his Mormon Mission in Japan. Gee Davey!
“He has a relaxed feel to him, but he has a passion for winning,” first baseman James Loney said of Manny. “You can’t ask for a better teammate than that.” And there you have it. Manny Watch.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!
