Manny Ramirez hits 1st home-run in Taiwan; CPBL's 7000th


In case you didn't know, Manny Ramirez is now playing in Taiwan after an uninspiring minor league stint with the Oakland Athletics last summer. He failed to catch on with any major league team this offseason, and headed to Asia, where he's playing on the EDA Rhinos.Ramirez's first home-run in Taiwan was listed as the 7000th in the CPBL since it was founded in 1989. The league's first home-run was recorded on March 17, 1990, by the Lions' Wang Chun-liang.Meanwhile, the game between the Rhinos and the Lions attracted a capacity crowd of 12,000, a record high for a CPBL regular game at the Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium.
