Manny Ramirez needs just two more home runs to have 500 for his career. He knows that's a pretty nice milestone, which is why he's enlisted the help of some friends, including Alex Rodriguez, to celebrate. From George A. King III of the New York Post:

"Manny wanted four people to make a video for him, and I was one of them," Rodriguez said. "I filmed it last week."

What does Rodriguez say to his friend upon entering the fraternity Rodriguez joined last year?

"I said, 'Manny, I am going to make this brief because I am going to get booed. Congratulations and many more.' "

A-Rod is referring to the fans at Fenway Park, but I'm guessing more than a few of the regulars at Yankee Stadium will have something to say about that, too. That's what makes it so funny to me -- it's like A-Rod knows that he'll never be able to win the fans over so he completely quit trying. Good for him.
