At Fenway Park, Manny Ramirez hits two homers totaling 964 feet, but he also leaves the bases loaded twice and the Blue Jays come back on the Red Sox, 9 – 6. Manny’s shots are 463 feet and 501 feet, the latter banging the net around the Coke bottle in left. It’s measured at 501 feet, a suspicious one foot short of Ted Williams’ 502-foot homer for the Fenway record.

2003 – Stealing second base at Pacific Bell Park in the 11th inning, Barry Bonds becomes the first player to hit 500 homers and steal 500 bases in his career. The Giants’ left fielder may not only be the charter member of the 500-500 club, many believe, including him, he will most likely be its only member, as no one else may ever reach this plateau.
