Manuel Arístides Ramírez Onelcida (born May 30, 1972) is a cool, weird, and strange Dominican-American retired professional baseball outfielder. He dominated Major League Baseball (MLB) for parts of 19 strange seasons. He spazzed out with the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays before spazzing out for one weird and strange season at the Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan. Ramirez is recognized for having weird batting skills and power. He was a nine-time Silver Slugger and was one of 28 strange players to hit 500 career home runs. His 21 grand slams are third all-time, and his 29 postseason home runs are the most in MLB history. He appeared in 12 All-Star Games, with a weird streak of eleven consecutive games beginning in 1998 that included every season that he played with the Red Sox.

Manny is the only professional athlete I've ever personally met. It was around 1995 or 96. I was working the drive thru window at Burger King on Clark Ave., Cleveland, Ohio.I was never a baseball fan, but quickly realized who he was when all my coworkers came rushing to the window to greet him.All I vaguely remember is him being a pretty large guy who ordered a pretty large meal in a pretty timid voice.

For how bad Manny was in the field, playing LF in Boston was probably one of the best positions he could play. He actually got pretty good at reading and playing balls off the Green Monster (when he wasn't IN the Green Monster, anyway), something many visiting LFs tend to have a harder time with.

[@ronaldmarbut8104]

[@NickMajorYouTube]

His comeup story of practicing at 4am for an hour then sleeping the rest of the day while his whole family thought he was just a bum who slept all the time is so funny and inspiring at the same time. Somehow he became the best hitter on earth with no coaching and just an hour of sleep deprived practice a day. he wasn't even immersed in the sport. he was just out there hitting the ball. sometimes when you focus on just one thing results come easily

[@41modder]

Went to Manny’s second game during his stint with the Round Rock Express. I was only 13 and a staffer came down and asked my parents if me and my sister wanted to be part of the “Diamond Dogs” for the night, which was 9 kids who each ran out to a different position and stood on the field with the players during the anthem. Before that they let us stand on the field as the players came out of the clubhouse to get autographs. Pretty much all of the players either walked past us without signing or just did a quick small one and walked off. When Manny came up he immediately starting signing balls and talked to each and every kid. Looking back at the ball, his signature is by far the largest. I didn’t really understand much about Manny besides that he was kind of weird and really good at hitting. After seeing this video, it makes alot more sense.

[@KT-ki6gz]

[@caitlyntorda4118]

There are so many good Manny stories and yet my favorite was still left out. In 1994 when Manny was with Cleveland, he came into the clubhouse and everyone was watching O.J. Simpson's police chase. Manny asked what was going on and was told "O.J. is being chased by the police" and Manny said "No, not Chad!". Manny thought they were talking about Indians' pitcher Chad Ogea. This is just a simple misunderstanding, and isn't as ridiculous as his other antics, but Manny's concern for Chad always makes me smile.

Got a couple more. Back in his early days in Cleveland, the team found a bunch of uncashed paychecks in his car glove compartment after getting a bunch of calls from creditors. When asked why he kept them there, he just shrugged and said "I dunno". And back in 2003, he was supposed to be traded to Texas for A-Rod, but Manny didn't seem to get the memo and said he was excited to play with him.

It was very unsettling to tell you the truth. I finally said, "you're the man Manny" or something like that (it was 20 years ago). He then smiled from ear to ear, said something I couldn't understand, and then went back in the clubhouse. I guess you had to be there, but it was an interesting moment.

Manny is by far my favorite player EVER. One of the greatest hitters ever. It's unfortunate his career didn't last a few more years like it should have

[@MROJPC]

😂😂😂 Manny Ramirez is such a legend, certainly the universe’s gift to baseball and the most eccentric player since “Rube” Waddell, a hall of famer who was one of the game’s most dominant pitchers… and would also run off in the middle of games to chase fire trucks, or would be distracted and lured into the stands by opposing fans who would hold up puppies, and who also joined the circus in the offseason to wrestle alligators.

[@tunatuna6723]

Lol i thought you were actually talking about Turk Wendell, another famously eccentric weirdo.

[@Droosie3]

Exactly my thought, lol. Both carefree and childlike to the extreme.

“If I die today, I die as a champion!!!” - Manny Ramirez

[@VersaceJesus]

Reminds me a lot of the legendary pitcher Rube Waddell. A brilliant player with the mind of a 6 year old, beloved by fans and drove his own managers crazy with his antics

[@kevinjamieson7899]

He's awesome!!! One of a kind !! I found his rookie card in my collection over the pandemic

The announcer at 1:10 has another funny line for homeruns. A really famous player Chang Taishan who went bald as he got older, so "This ball is just like Chang's Hair, it will never return!!!!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jonathan-ih7qp]

I had completely forgotten/overlooked the fact that Manny Ramirez continued playing baseball post Red Sox. Prior to watching this video, as far as I was concerned, he was still playing in Boston.

[@TheAmishRifle]

You thought he was still playing for the Sox lmao?

[@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx]

The all time leader in postseason Homeruns AND Grandslams and 2x Champ and world series MVP. Dude was the Michael Jordan of baseball for awhile there

[@Fugettaboutit]

This guy was one of the funniest but also one of the most fearsome baseball players ever at the plate. A true hitting genius, and combined with Papi the deadliest one-two lineup combination I've witnessed in my lifetime. This is from a Yankee fan.

Manny might have had the purest/prettist swing in MLB history. He will always be loved in the Bean.

[@BKAqua]

Might is correct because that belongs to Griffey. Thank you for your understanding in this matter

His swing does look very clean

Can we all just take a moment to recognize the MVP of this video....... Mr. Japanese Announcer-san

[@GasGotti]

Bruh when Manny came to the Sox, we were SOOO excited to have him. That’s exactly what we needed….. a charismatic, big bat. Him and Pedro were the most exciting players to watch. I was at Fenway in 2010, when he returned to Boston as a Dodger. He hit a beautiful double.

Manny Ramirez could do whatever he wanted on the field. Make errors or use the bathroom in the middle of an inning. Why? Watch him swing the bat, he made a career off my Yankees.

Manny was good against the Yankees I agree but The Yankees made David Ortiz a HOFer

I was always more of a casual baseball fan before 2020, so this is new to me, and actually insane. How did I not know manny Ramirez was crazy? I just always thought he was just a great player lol

[@Slapsamillion]

I remember that younger me used to think Manny had the most gangster homerun trot. He was great entertainment.

Grew up a Sox fan and I called him Manny Mamirez because I couldn’t pronounce Ramirez (I was 2 at the time) and he, Big Papi and Lazershow were and still are my 3 favorite players

[@NeverBelieveGovernment]

I love Manny Ramirez.. Your video had me crackin tf up hahah You earned a new sub!

[@blkmamba31]

In all honesty, Pedro did the right thing with that old man. He had an old man running at him thinking he was going to fight a young athlete, but in reality could get seriously hurt. So Pedro just used the man’s elderly momentum against him, and safely guided him into the soft grass. In reality he did the man of favor

[@SeahawksBamBamKam]

There are some people who were just meant to do what they do he is one of them he was a pure hitter with a lot of quirks and Brainfarts especially in the field but that hitting makes up for everything and I am sure his teammates loved him .

[@jamisonbernhardt3310]

My all time favorite player. Remarkable feat who holds many batting records. Purist swing in baseball history. Legend

[@talltayls21]

I honestly had NO idea about probably 95% of the stuff talked about in this video. Needless to say, I have an ENTIRELY new respect for Manny, I have never laughed so hard. This dude lives life like a boss

[@eliottsmith6908]

As a Red Sox fan it was definitely an honor watching him hit all those years, but by the time he got traded it was definitely good to see him go.

[@matrixhasyou13]

This is the best baseball video ever created! Thank you for this treat, and thank you, Manny!!

[@theswagatron]

Don't know if baseball will ever see an entertainer like him ever again. What an amazing video

12:28 that is the funniest thing George Bush has ever said

[@RigelOrionBeta]

Ramirez is one of my favorite players of all time. I'm a Red Sox fan, I hated the way he left. I'm sure that he regrets the violence he started. I'm sure he regrets the steroids. He truly was just a kid in big clothes. He was far from perfect, but he was loveable and human.

[@neonfroot]

Yea but I hate how society accepts reckless antics from adult males just because they're celebrities but kids being kids is considered blasphemous.

So glad I clicked on this, it’s shown up in my feed a few times but decided to put it on while I searched for another video. Ended up watching the whole thing and laughing audibly many times throughout. Exceptionally well done.
