Manny Ramirez - The Manny stories of baseballs greatest hitter

In 1991 the bar for what athletes can and can’t get away with was forever changed when a 19 year old Manny Ramirez was drafted 13th overall by the then Cleveland Indians. Ramirez went onto have one of the greatest MLB hitting careers, with 555 home runs, a career Batting Average of .312 and an On-Base Percentage plus Slugging of .996.

But the real story with Manny is the infamous stories of ‘Manny being Manny’ which include; stealing the team bus, fighting club officials, forcing his PED supplier to read him bedtime stories, peeing inside the Green Monster (which does not have a toilet) and many many more.

So step up to the plate with us to hear all the wild, crazy, and strange stories of Manny Ramirez and find out where this enigma of a human being ranks on our journey to find the wildest story from the world of sport.
