Manny Manny Manny!

Was at the game last night, Manny Bobblehead Night, only crappy thing is Manny didn’t play because of an injury the day before. However in the 6th he pinch hit for Chad Billingsley (P) with the bases juiced, 1 out, and he goes yard! First pitch too! It is probably one of if not the craziest single moment in baseball I have personally witnessed. I have seen Matsui go yard for a 3 run Jack at Yankee stadium in game 2 of the 2003 world series, witnessed Arod’s 300th HR, and even Game 6 of the 2002 World Series when Spiezio hit that Jack to bring a 0-6 deficit to eventual victory. But this I think was the single most greatest thing I have seen in the MLB world. Dude comes off the bench, and later brags he didn’t have BP, and first swing of the night hits a Grand Slam to bring a 2-2 game to 6-2 which ends as the final score. Ontop of all this it was his Bobblehead night too.
