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.

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.

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.

When asked why he kept them there, he just shrugged and said "I dunno".

I used to do service work at Fenway. One day I was walking by the clubhouse and Manny was standing outside it (by himself), and he was grilling me. We had an unwritten policy in the company I worked for to not approach the players. So I was following this unwritten policy and Manny just kept staring at me like he was insulted. 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. I think his smile was even weirder than him staring at me.

You’re a very timid fellow aren’t you? You must’ve been TERRIFIED… I mean another person actually LOOKED at you and not just a glance, no not just that… they STARED! I’m glad at least you seem to be recovering from the PTSD you no doubt suffered.

Dude was at my college a couple months back and talked to our hitters and seemed like a really chill and cool dude

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

I love this man and his story, u all have no idea. He was a large part of my childhood as a young baseball fan growing up in northeast ohio. Long live Manny⚾ Much appreciation for creating this💯🍻

I laughed until I cried, and then laughed more. Great video on a legend.

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

[@JamesBeam420]

As a Red Sox fan, dude could roll out of bed and go 3-5 with 2 homers and a double 15 minutes later. One of the best right handed hitters who ever lived. You didn't really mention the potential Arod trade that fell through, that was fascinating. As a Sox fan, the deal breaker was assaulting the old man. But for sure, Manny deserves respect as on of the best natural born hitters of all time.

A Rod and Bonds were better

[@aflan9659]

great vid, bud! really enjoyed this

[@chrisculhane3777]

This video was the best thing I've seen on u tube in a long time. My girl and I laughed our ass off and she doesn't even know who Manny is. Great video

As a life-long diehard Royals fan, Manny Ramirez is by far my favorite player of all time! The ONLY opposing teams jersey I have worn inside Kauffman Stadium. I bought tickets to every Red Sox game wearing that jersey. Yankees games too. I still have that jersey. Manny being Manny...

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

Imagine if both Manny Ramirez Jr’s make it to the big leagues and one is a pitcher and the other is a batter. “Manny Ramirez Jr is pitching to Manny Ramirez Jr

[@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.

[@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

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?

Hes just a man who is living his best life. Respect for that. Not many people can do that these days

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.
