MANNY RAMIREZ ties EDDIE MURRAY on all-time GRAND SLAM list!

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Manny Ramirez hit his 19th career grand slam and drove in five runs, leading the Boston Red Sox over the Philadelphia Phillies 12-8 Sunday for their season-high seventh consecutive victory.

Ramirez tied Hall of Famer Eddie Murray for second place on the career grand slams list with the slam.

Lou Gehrig holds the record with 23.

I have suspected for years Manny would someday be the alltime Slam leader...hard to believe he's already this far along, it seems like yesterday Manny was batting 7th on that loaded Tribe team with Murray, JimThome, and Albert Belle

Manny will be remembered for this. Crazy thing to say. But I bet with today's media, that's what it will be if he gets 1st. It perfectly epitomizes a HR slugging, RBI garnering player like Manny.

I am very proud to say I witnessed one of these in person, it cleared the coke bottles. Cal Ripken's last season. Hideo Nomo choked on a 6-2 lead and the Birds won. I also lost my -1.5 bet.

Manny the man!!! :drink:

I was at a few of Murray's grand slams..one I recall opening day 1982 , Murray grand slam vs Royals towering shot to centerfield, Birds won like 12-2 or something, I recall Cal homering that day as well...

okay I was off on the score :digit:

Not that great, Jason Micheals tryed to take advantage of his weak fielding rep by going trying to go first to third on a single to left. Manny made a nice accurate throw though not tremendously strong. Replays showed the runner was actually safe, but was very close.

I remember when Manny was coming up with the Indians, we went to see them play Norfolk in a doubleheader and I was all excited because I knew Manny was going to be a superstar and I had (still do) like 350 Manny rookie cards.

Anyway, first inning of the first game, some Tide comes up to bat and hits a popup near foul territory in right (yes, Manny was playing right field that night). To make a long story short, Manny stumbles on the bullpen mound, twists his ankle and ends his night.

Doesn't Willie McCovey also have 19 grand salamis?
