Quote:How can what Manny did be so horrible when Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey, Jr do that every single home run?
Who says I'm like soooo in love with Bonds and Sosa? No baseball player should be showboating, it's unsportsmanlike.
The difference between Bonds/Sosa and Manny Ramirez is that the media can forgive Bonds and Sosa because of what they've already done; the media's justification is that they've earned the chance to showboat. Bonds hit 73 home runs in a season, and he's 4th on the all time home runs list. Sosa hit 60 home runs in, not one, but three seasons. From that standpoint, Who the fuck is Manny Ramirez to show boat? What has he done?
And Griffey? Griffey who? Last time he was ever anything he was playing in Seattle.
