An Ode to Manny
August 1, 2008
This is dedicated to Mannys Betah Half, aka Noel. We are all taking this hard but she loves him the most. Keep your head up Noel, and remember him fondly. I hope you all enjoy:
Goodbye to our hitting savant.
The one with the swing anyone would want.
The man with power and charisma galore.
The man who's a part of Red Sox lore.
Manny, oh Manny, you have our heart.
You stole them away right from the start.
The tape measure blasts and the game winning pokes.
To the crazy hair, and the gorgeous stroke.
You pack style and substance into your game.
Because of you Boston will never be the same.
Two World Series Titles you helped us muster.
Your game never tarnished the Green Monster luster.
Nothing is perfect, and we had some tussles.
Over your defense and lack of hustle.
But at the end of the day you always came through.
And because of that we will always love you.
You'll be missed by us all.
But have fun in LA, playing ball.
It's sad to see you go to Dodger blue.
In our hearts and minds we'll always remember you.
-The Poet-RSM
