Manny Was Manny (Pt.2) - The Red Sox Years

[@carson6574]

Manny hitting a bomb and undoing his batting gloves before leaving the box is a whole vibe

[@bigguyswagman4455]

absolutely pimped

[@carson6574]

@capacitance-rca1981 everybody was a roider in the time when Manny played

[@aaronrohrer1563]

@@bigguyswagman4455 steroids made baseball better

[@travisrowe7697]

capacitance-rca1981 there’s no way of knowing who was and wasn’t on PEDs. Some used them for years, some for a short time, some used a ton, some might’ve only used one type. Imo the hall of fame is a collection of baseball history and it’s best players. A player should be judged mostly on the era he played in. There are fairly credible rumors steroid use dates back to the 50s and 60s. Not to mention uppers, greenies, amphetamines, cocaine, etc. the list goes on over the decades. Put in the best of each era and leave it at that. Manny, bonds, Clemens, they all should be in.

[@travisrowe7697]

capacitance-rca1981 your so called “roiders” weren’t just home run hitters. How many guys took them and went from fringe players to everyday roster players? How many guys went from 5 hr guys to 20 hr guys? How many guys went from 15 doubles to 40 doubles? Not to mention pitchers were doing them as well. How do u account for them? Bottom line is you can’t. Baseball turned a blind eye. Sure we don’t think jeter used them, but who’s to say he or another “non user” didn’t ever take HGH or something else to avoid injury or recover faster? That’s a PED as well. Put an asterisk in the record books I guess if it helps you sleep better, but there’s no way you can fairly tell me each and every player that did or didn’t use them.

[@moistpeanut5986]

Papi + Manny was the most terrifying 3/4 combo the world has ever seen.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Facts!

[@samuelwilliams6154]

Ruth and Gehrig was probably more terrifying

[@AiVersify]

Canseco/McGwire in the late 80s was terrifying too

[@louisminati]

Thome > Ortiz

[@blackmeccainc]

Mathews/Aaron would like a word with you.

[@gavinfurst2743]

Manny's one of the most exciting players of all time no doubt about it.

[@gavinfurst2743]

Lol it all seems to add up nicely doesn’t it 😂

[@SilverPwns]

"It Ends Tonight", loses last 3 games. Great eyesight there, Cleveland.

[@KazeShikamaru]

Nice profile pic. I hope he gets his own game. Also shit like that is why Cleveland keeps taking Ls.

[@jarrodrutledge]

That clip of Manny rubbing Tavarez' head had me dying. What a bro.

[@starjun97]

Mannys still playing baseball but in Japan

[@rogregg29445]

Him taking a whiz in the green monster 😂😂😂

[@MasterEd75]

My Man giving MVP Baseball 05 love! Was playing it as I was watching!

[@alexthesniper1952]

I know Mvp is so good.

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

I still got this game in great condition.

[@blkplaguelmc]

Born and raised 20 minutes from Boston. Life time red Sox fan. Manny is the greatest hitter of my generation and my favorite player of all time. I feel privileged to have witnessed his career. Just as much as watching Tom Brady my whole life. Manny was that good

[@bastingtie666999]

My favorite Manny moment was Manny Bobble head night playing with the Dodgers in 2009, was benched the whole game, bases loaded, off the bench and hits a grand slam.

[@jesselacefield8945]

I’m a Yankees fan but these two videos were so damn entertaining. Love this channel and Manny. You da best SRS!

[@michaelcatalano6208]

If we signed manny you think Boston curse still alive ?

[@Scott6794]

Ahh, I remember Manny and Pedro. Good time to be a teenager in Massachusetts.

[@chrishaapala7997]

I'm going to need the dodgers years ASAP loll.... My favorite player of all time

[@andyreynoso4454]

He hit a lot with the Dodgers

[@bentinbama1]

Dude i remember those red sox teams from 03 to like 06....jesus they were dominant and ne being a sox fan loved every minute of it. Manny was my hero growing up lol. Dude was just so damn conistent for a decade. Its unreal

[@nycsongman9758]

"Enrique Wilson's back; bro; just the off-handed way that you said that. The Manny swing: Effortless All of the precise angles. Monster.

[@teamwpventure]

I loved watching him hit more than any other right handed batter in history.

[@danmayotte3105]

Thank you for making this Manny was my favorite player growing up and I have so much nostalgia watching these old clips.

[@billyclough3945]

THE BEST NOTIFICATION I COULD HAVE GOTTEN

[@Xenlacasa45]

For real !

[@jpsw17]

no one on this planet could count how many notis i would have if i had them on from all my subscriptions from 7 years ago

[@AdrianMartinez-eb9wu]

The double play where he runs up and gives a fan a high five was sweet

[@bigg_boss_rob]

Pinch hit Grand Slam on his bobble head night was one of his best highlights as a dodger! Can’t wait for pt 3!!!

[@a1gamer561]

2:04 we just not gonna acknowledge that that was robbed lol

[@gkdunch]

nah

[@tibistibility]

“Will the pain and suffering ever end?” 💀

[@bryantsteury8910]

Forgot about Manny snagging that cutoff throw from Damon. One of the most athletic things I've ever seen him do.

[@captainwesker1234]

I havent said it yet in this video, my FAVORITE player. Love this video, Manny is the best.

[@Flow_Easy]

MVP baseball 2005 was so great, that I've bought it 3 separate times, and still enjoy it like it first came out.

[@JonEffinZoidberg]

Loved these videos... I was in the Marines 2004-2009 and every day we would go to the chow hall and whenever Manny came on sportscenter everyone was paying attention. So much fun to see his shenanigans, even though he may not be on your team you loved watching him.

[@zukevail478]

I know for a fact NESN did a show back in the day around 07 or 08 called manny being manny, would be great to see clips from that in the next episodes

[@makatron]

Manny was just so much fun to watch, and I'm a diehard Yankees fan but first I'm Dominican.

[@jasonjay1053]

This is great. I hated the Red Sox as a Yankee fan but I was always wowed by Manny Ramirez great talent.

[@c_8313]

Cant wait too see more! Loved the first episode. Got my lunch, and watching this video, great time.

[@nathanielgoodrich6313]

Easily the best hitter I've ever seen in my lifetime . Manny was next level. The guy could do whatever TF he wanted at anytime, magnified by his postseason stats. Not only do his stats support the argument but his swing alone was the best of all time, and yes I hear you Griffey...

[@OilCompany95]

I played 06 the show so damn much. When I was watching the clip at the beginning I could still recite "and when it comes down, it's gonna be a home run" perfectly even after not playing for about 10 years ahaha!

[@ByGeorge846]

These are my favourite years of baseball. Nothing better than those Red Sox teams for me.

[@antoni351]

I applaud you sir. You captured manny well in his time in Boston. I had flash back when he first put on a Red Sox uniform. Thank you 🙏

[@Trimusa]

4 days in October was one of the best documentaries in baseball

[@rafaelgonzalez1297]

This was awesome, Manny was a great hitter from the time he played in Youth Service in Brooklyn and for George Washington HS. He certainly was a character.

[@Quakerman14]

If Bonds somehow makes the HOF, then Manny needs to make it.

both should be in there so should clemens.

[@williamsanders2348]

I can't thank you enough for including the running catch-fan hi five-double play against Baltimore. Easily top 5 Manny moment.

[@anyce2972]

I’m 32 grew up watching Manny superb Video

[@kingdingaling2469]

Dude...MVP Baseball 05 and The Show 16 are 2 of the best games ever created. They’re perfect baseball games imo. I haven’t played 21 yet.

[@duvalcricket63]

Gosh, as a Yankee fan this series is killing me. 😫

[@potawatomimko6108]

Love the vid. Completely unrelated from the content but i have a note, the red outline on your thumbnail makes me think I've watched the video already because that's what color the watch history line is. Thats all. Keep it up

[@christopherpennetta8973]

I had no idea that there may be a Part 3.....I thought Part 2 was completing the Manny saga but apparently not,...... AND I FU***NG LOVE IT BABY!!!! Awesome vid bro! Can't wait for Part 3!!

[@mattangel7844]

Manny’s Being Manny 🔥

[@davon4470]

As a yankees fan 2004 is still painful for me. Between this and watching my giants losing in the miracle at the medowlands 2 still hurt.

[@D0RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

was a pleasure to watch this mans career.

[@MikelOvalleYT]

I miss Manny so much! That 04 team was so fun!

[@senororlando2]

“there’s the throw from Damon... that Meany cuts awf!”

[@jpsw17]

the fact this was broken up into 4 vids shows how much manny manny was

[@coltoneldridge8534]

I’m ready for part 3 already loved him on the White Sox even though he wasn’t there long

[@Hoodlum_Media]

That Jon Miller call of BOS-OAK is amazing

[@right-flight6185]

Was on a KZbin binge and came across the first video.. very well done! Do another baseball player! Love the video

[@PzychoMantis90]

Goddamn. You saying one of the first games you owned was '06: The Show makes me feel old. I used to play Triple Play, High Heat, All-Star, etc.

[@maureengilligo1960]

My fave player of all time

[@yomamasson7840]

Just a great video on manny 👍🏽

[@gersonechevarria9676]

Just watched part one. Dont think Ive ever hit ‘next video’ faster... and im a Mets fan

[@go0s8]

The quality of this and the detail is amazing great video.

[@rafemanrafeman6705]

When the sox snagged him I was so excited and just to tears later we got big papi.

[@pikapal91]

Fun fact, I was in Boston, and decided to take in a Red Sox game. Little did I know I just watched Manny play his last game in Fenway. About two hours after the game was over Manny was traded.

[@joshtaylor9884]

I'm a Rays fan going years back. And as entertaining as it was facing Manny 18 times a year, I was glad to see him leave the AL East.

[@hemifete00]

Those were some fun years in Boston!!!

[@SONICX1027]

I always love Manny when he was on the Red Sox

[@chuckyboy1217]

he really complained there was no sushi LMFAOOOO

[@teddyleft8525]

“When you don’t feel good and you still get hits, that’s when you know you are a bad man” -Manny ‘07

[@chrisratcliff7466]

That game was the best baseball video game ever. Period.

[@alexdoumas9977]

Been waiting all morning!

[@johnm9156]

Man you missed MVP Baseball 2005 by one year, the greatest baseball video game of all time. And Manny was on the Cover! Edit: I made this comment before watching the whole video, you literally mention this towards the end lmao

[@jfturner73]

2001 through 2003 Red Sox: As a fan, Manny and Pedro were the 2 guys that drove us nuts with their off field antics. 2004 comes....OK it was worth it. (Though I wonder if Pedro still takes the month of March off for his uncle's birthday..?)

[@andyhighroller8217]

I sometimes think about a trade proposal I read about in the newspaper somewhere around either 2010 summer or 2011 summer. It was Tim Lincecum for Jacoby Ellsbury. Ofc Timmy was Timmy, and SF doesn’t have a World Series without Timmy on the roster. But they also had weird outfields over perform inconsistently. Andres Torres becoming a near All -Star for a year and a half. Squeezing the last drops out of Pat Burrell. Getting Cody Ross for chump change(who had a pretty good season with Boston in 2012 that made me so happy). Then there was Angel Pagan, whose health dictated the Giants’ W/L records until 2015. Melky Cabrera had the 2012 batting title via the Tony Gwynn rule, but refused so MVPosey wound be winner by default. Hunter Pence was Mr. Hustle but we only got one game with Melky/Pagan/Pence, Panda/Craw/Scutaro/Belt/Posey before Melky’s PED suspension made Gregor Blanco a starter again. Blanco was arguably the best 4th outfielder of the 2010’s due to his reliability with SF. They’ve since experimented with the likes of Gorkys Hernandez, Dennard Span, Kevin Pillar, Steven Duggar and Mauracio Dubon before finally throwing Yaz in CF and ending the search. Though I wonder if they win more games in the 2010’s if Timmy’s 4.50+ ERA was replaced with Ellsbury. Pagan likely would’ve been a great defensive left fielder, and probably would’ve stayed healthy during a time where he was an elite spark plug(this guy would tear his hammy on inside the park homers after leading the league in triples).

[@alexthesniper1952]

Thanks for Mentoining Mvp 05 it's a damn good game.

[@billnye1329]

Big series hype

[@fireatwill7707]

These are great video. Well done. Manny was the best

[@ryandeeken1554]

that 2004 cardinals team was probably one of the best of the franchise. which makes the sweep even crazier

[@Spoocecow]

Love the clips using Castiglione's calls!

[@MachineGunZero]

MLB 06 the show was incredible I owned about 6 copy’s of that game my dad loved that game a lot

[@justinnardine8564]

MANNY THANKS! I loved MLB!

[@andreamay437]

That’ baseball was absolutely DESTROYED!

[@patrickdunn2849]

I’m watching lost rn I literally watched that scene two nights ago

[@stephenharris7814]

5:34 I have no doubt that if they pricked C the Red Sox's would have won the world series.

[@cerealissoup84]

Same with D. I think the yankees would have forfeited

[@quinnbrown_golf]

Let’s go!! I almost forgot about this series

[@Gweb52]

Damn you for making me remember MVP baseball

[@leppardism]

Man Manny was in the MVP baseball 2005, best baseball game ever

[@PoleToPoleTravel]

Love the video but I'd be pretty pissed two if I was that good for so long for the Sox and the traveling secretary couldn't get me 16 tickets 🤣

[@RyanAA56]

This series is awesome! Can’t wait for more

[@530imman]

It kind of weird to hear as a giants fan to hear Jon Miller an Dave Flemiming broadcasting a Red Sox game. But when I was playing baseball my coach trained me how to stand like Louis Gonzalez an hit like Manny Ramirez.

[@raypratt3611]

Never realized just how quick Mannys bat was and almost ALWAYS it wasn't the cheap part of the bat either!!

[@sammycampbell1654]

Up till the 13:30 mark I found the first two episodes of this saga to be pretty unbiased, for the most part. It gives the credit he's due for his accomplishments to that point in time, while also mixing in some foreshadowing anecdotes that lead to the phenomenon that we've come to know as "Manny being Manny".... At that 13:30 mark I feel like like there was a shift in the narrative, with the narrator stating that Manny disappeared in LF "to go hang out in the Monster". Manny left the field to go take a pee. He wasn't simply leaving to sit down and enjoy a Coke and a hot dog. And Manny wasn't the first to do this. Opposing players and Sox both have jogged into the confines of the Monster at various points of games to go pee, both between innings and during pitching changes. Johnny Damon would saunter over from center to relieve himself in the urinal inside the Monster 3 or 4 times a season. This incident never did sit right with me. It always seemed like the media used this as an excuse to turn the narrative around. It felt like there was a faction in the New England media that wanted this guy gone, and now they had an event they could point to and go "see!!! He's a bad teammate, and a cancer to the clubhouse." And I can't really understand why. The Sox were only about a half a year removed from that historic WS title, and Manny had more than lived up to the expectations that came with his contract, which at the time had him as the second highest paid player in the game.

[@isaacgraham5727]

That sock in the HOF that Schilling wore? It's from Game 2 of the WS when the Sox beat the Cards at Fenway. Schill threw away the bloody sock from Game 6 because it was a bloody sock.

[@ShredHouseGaming]

Ok, this series is fantastic, you really have done a great job on parts 1 and 2. BUT....”MVP Baseball 2005 is one of the most loved video games of all time.” I’m sorry, but no, not even “in the ballpark” with that one. Other than that keep it up, love a well made history of America’s game 👍🏻

[@AirtimeThrills]

Great video, and i just wanna throw out an unpopular opinion here....Joe Buck has some great calls

[@jrp7808]

I was at his first game in Fenway as a red Sox player, and he hit a homer. I met his son the other day. Small world

[@Jxndorado]

I still play mvp baseball 2005, best game ever😂🔥

[@rancan2112]

I remember one game where the camera zoomed in on Curt Schilling sitting in the dugout poring over his notebook of batters. Manny was sitting next to him, looked at him, then looked at the camera and just waved his hands like "that stuff is useless" and kept on doing it. Schilling, with no clue what was going on, looked up, looked at the camera, then looked a Manny, who played it all innocent and patted him on the back. Funniest dugout moment I ever saw. Wish there was a clip of it.

[@bmac4]

I mentioned this in the last one but oddly enough the first Manny memory I think of was during his final year of pro ball when he was in the Taiwan league and he hit a ball so hard the play by play said, in English, "This ball is long gone, just like the ex girlfriend who will never return! Home run!"

[@itsmealex8959]

0:00 Omg I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who did this

[@andyhighroller8217]

6:15 I LOVE this part of baseball in particular. Tell a pinch hitter “just keep it alive, get on 1st, and keep the line moving.” and homie goes out there and hits an extra innings BOMB out of the park. Then that VERY same guy, riding high after playoff bombs probably decided he’d go home in the off-season and have a block party BBQ where he dunks on the dreams of local young hoopers and the pride of old heads. Gets injured, then replaced by AROD!!

[@riddlemehuh]

Is the 2004 playoffs so long ago that the red Sox Yankees series requires in depth explanation? That series was the best playoff series of the decade.

[@MikeJr9284]

I was a kid during Manny’s stint with Boston and had no idea he played for Cleveland beforehand.

[@G3O.On3]

I don't like the Redsoxs (Yankee fan) but I do like Big Papi and Manny 🇩🇴💯

[@raf42]

5:15 I was at game 7 of that ALCS. Holy hell it was an experience.
