Watch Manny Ramirez smack his first home run for the Kochi Fighting Dogs

Back in January, esteemed slugger and foremost Being Manny expert Manny Ramirez signed with the Kochi Fighting Dogs of Japan's Shikoku Island League for an unknown sum of money and all the sushi he could ever want.
So far this season, he's been spotted hitting (and dancing) like his old self. But there's one thing we hadn't seen from Manny's time in Japan: a home run. Until Wednesday, that is (the fun begins around the :48 mark):

Manny drove a hanging slider over the right-field wall in the Fighting Dogs' 4-1 win over the supremely named Tokushima Indigo Socks. And while we can't see where the ball actually landed, we can only assume it's somewhere in the Pacific Ocean by now.
