Play Ball!

[NewsWhore]

After five months of waiting, Major League Baseball is finally here. Die-hard fans got their money's worth during this year's first game being played at the Tokyo Dome in the Japanese capital. The match-up pitted the very popular and defending 2007 World Series Champs Boston Red Sox versus the Oakland Athletics. The game was tied 5-5 in the 10th inning when Manny Ramirez hit his second two-run double in the 10th to give the Sox 6-5 lead and the victory. Ramirez stared at the after he hit it, thinking it was a three-run homerun, but the ball bounced off the center field wall. The Red Sox, a favorite of Dominican baseball fans, includes Dominican sluggers Manny Ramirez and David "Big Papi" Ortiz, pitchers Manny Del Carmen and Julian Tavarez, and infielder Julio Lugo. The Red Sox are a favorite to repeat as WS Champs this year.
