On to 600

[NewsWhore]

It took Manny Ramirez a few tries to hit his 500th homerun and join an exclusive collection of hitters, but in a Monday game against the Baltimore Orioles Ramirez belted his 501st career homerun. The fact that Ramirez hit a homerun in consecutive games isn't the real news here, rather that each dinger puts Ramirez one homerun closer to the ultra-exclusive 600-homerun club. The chase is now on for Manny to complete the feat. At 36 years old Ramirez is aging, but if he stays healthy and decides to play at least three more seasons we could see another Dominican in the 600-homerun club. The bomb, hit into deep right field, helped the mighty Boston Red Sox, and Ramirez's hot bat is now a must as slugger David Ortiz was placed on the DL with a wrist injury.
