I'm glad that you got the chance to see the game, especially seeing
him hit that home run. It was a great game. I hate hot weather but
would have sat and suffered through the heat to see him and rest of
the team. I follow his stats too, they just keep on growing. I dream
of the day when he enters the Hall of Fame. I wonder if the shy one
will say more than "thank you" and give a little speech? He could give
it in Spanish and have a translator for those that only understand
English. Just a thought...

I'll be seeing the team play in about two weeks in Anaheim - three
games! I can't wait! I really wish Trot and Varitek weren't on the DL.
I really wanted to see them in action. I'm praying our heatwave we've
is finally over. At least the games are being played at night.

because usually when I go he doesn't have a good game! Here are some
interesting stats I read in the paper this morning - very impressive:

> Manny Ramirez's leadoff homer off Brian Sikorski in the sixth
inning was his 30th of the season, allowing him to reach the plateau
for the 11th time in his career, including each of the last nine
seasons. Ramirez, who extended his hitting streak to 18 games with the
clout, tied Willie Mays, Mark McGwire, Frank Robinson and Sammy Sosa
for 30-homer seasons. The only players with more are Hank Aaron (15),
Barry Bonds (14), Babe Ruth/Mike Schmidt (13) and Jimmie Foxx (12).

Winfield for 26th on the all-time list. He now has 1,499 RBI, leaving
him one shy of becoming the 45th player ever to reach 1,500.
