He would make a bad president though.
I don't know about that. He would look awesome standing behind a podium, arms outstretched and with a red-hot glare, and a 'Mission Accomplished' banner behind him.
It'd be awesome if he hired Perdo's friend to be his Press Secretary... or maybe Secretary of State.

I believe Pedro's little friend is no longer w/ us. :(

Sadly, Manny wasn't born here, so this is all for naught.

Maybe Bret Boone can become president and do a bat flip after every law he signs.

Is there some sort of Schwarzenegger precedent he could follow?

Pitchers should be armed with a "second" baseball, for moments like this. They could then fire off a heater right at that conceited show-off player during his act of 'me'. Wouldn't that help?

I really hope that younger generations watching him do NOT emulate his acts!!!

11:18: Mark from Philly offers an inspiring defense for Manny's home run preening: "When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."
My buddy and I at work agree...Manny is like Rain Man...He's a genius hitting a baseball, but always wants to go watch Wapner.

Would that make him Rain Manny?

Meh........ it's a game. Let 'em have fun. If you want "honor and integrity", watch the Marines do their jobs, not grown men playing baseball.
