Moment 5.5: A High Five for the Ages.

A personally relevant joke: There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count and those who can't.

May 14. Boston at Baltimore.



It was certainly a fabulous play. Fourth inning. Runners at first and second, one out. A long drive to left field off the bat of Kevin Millar. Seemingly gone or, at least, off the wall. Instead, the ball is intercepted in an over-the-shoulder catch by Manny, relayed to Pedroia, tossed to Youkilis and Aubrey Huff is doubled up.



But the gem of the play was the brief time before Manny returned the ball to the infield. He was carried up the seven foot wall by a force known only to Manny Ramirez, reached out, and high-fived a fan. And then returned to the dugout absolutely delighted with himself.



This was Manny at his Manny-est and deserving of spot 5.5.
