Manny Ramirez and his seedy appearance ...

This guy should clean up his image. For baseball purists, his appearance is a disgrace. Sure, he's a future hall-of-famer, but he looks ridiculous. Hispanic Rasta. Nice.
And the number 99? Beer League Softball. Number should be retired by all LA sports franchises. Only one number 99 for LA ... GRETZKY. Sorry, Manny, but you are a HUGE tool.

He may be lazy, but there's no question he's one of the most fearsome hitters to have played the game. Hitting a baseball with a wooden stick may be the single most difficult thing to do in all of sports.

That's all well and good but I guess I look just as much at a person's character as I do their ability. He has none so I could care less about how great he is. He's lazy and self-centered and it's guys like him that are a cancer on the modern game.

You don't have to like the guy personally to appreciate his talent. There have been dozens of garde A jerks in sports who have put up outstanding numbers.
Edit: Though he wore out his welcome in Boston, I'd bet an honest Sox fan wouldn't argue with the fact that Manny was one of the key reasons they won TWO World Series after winning none in 80 years. Winning is a great deodarant.

How disgraceful was Ty Cobb climbing in to the stands and attacking a handicapped man?
How disgraceful was Cap Anson and his avowed racism?
How disgraceful were Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle for constantly cheating on their wives?
How disgraceful was major league baseball for not allowing african american players for the first half of the 20th century?
I could go on and on. Stop living in fantasy land and thinking this game is pristine and free of disgraceful acts and players. If you really think Manny Ramirez is disgracing the game by growing his hair long, get a grip on reality.

My dislike has nothing to do with how he looks as I have many tattoos myself so I know all about not conforming. There are other reasons I don't care for him. One being that he doesn't give 100% all of the time.
He's never even won an MVP. Acting like a baby now sure isn't going to help his chances.

All great points, and I'd also add that you can't tell anything about someone's character based on what you see and hear about that person on television. For all any of us know Manny is the nicest guy on the planet.

If you watch enough baseball you quickly notice that about 60% of all outfielders aren't afraid to dog it in the field from time to time. What sets Manny apart is that he doesn't try to hide it. And as far as giving it 100%, you can include the scores of fat-asses that currently hold roster spots on an MLB team in that category, since nobody who's 60 lbs. overweight can be said to be 'giving it 100%' at any point during the season. It's fine to pitch Manny under the bus, but you better toss Prince Fielder, C.C. Sabathia, and all the rest of them under there as well.
<< <i>I guess everybody thinks that Manny is a lock for the HOF, but I'm not so sure. 36 years old, and he's going to need a couple of more good years to get in I would think, because his big numbers all came in the steroid era. 500 homers shouldn't be a shoe-in any more.

ahh, have you seen his crazy rbi totals? Slg%?Ba? Two championships? He is as sure a thing as Griffey and Thomas.

Nice. I guess we'll be seeing Manny DNA Ginter cards next year.

Maybe that's why I don't watch much sports these days.

They did integrate almost 20 years before the rest of the country did. So give them some credit.

Right on brotha!
The dreads, the swagger, the ability, it's all made me become a big fan of Manny's over the past few seasons. He stays true to himself and doesn't try to "fit in" for the sake of baseball "purists".
I'm so happy with this trade. I finally get to root for Manny since he's out of Beantown and in with the Dodger's (a sentimental favorite due to growing up near dodgertown), and I'm loving it!

Time to set up the altar again. Been awhile since St. Albert has been canonized around here. It was kind of nice while it lasted.

Actually since everyone and their mom has a tatoo, they are actually CONFORMING, it is weirdos like myself with no tatoos or piercings that are the NEW non-conforminsts

I believe they were the only team to have that rule. ESPN radio was reporting the hair rule is a Dodger rule that is part of Joe Torre's team rules. I guess Joe must have instituted the rules like the Yankees had while he was there. I like the fact Manny said he would have no problem cutting his hair and that he wanted no special rules for him as he's part of the team. Manny also said something like, "hey it's only hair, it will grow back, right (with a chuckle)? lol
does todd bertuzzi have a tramp stamp too?

Not much, but hey...
I am not to say Manny doesn't have his faults, but he has been given a LABEL to live up to.
I don't know him personally, but what I do know that on the field, he does always show up on time, and more often than MOST players, he gets the job done. I am not to judge. I don't know what obstacles he has faced in life, but I am sure he will go down as a legend in baseball, with all of his labels.

I know! Do you know how many middle-aged women I see at my job (as customers) that have nose piercings (though it's usually just a little stud)? Ten years ago a nose piercing would've been quite, eh, radical but now it seems it's no big deal. Personally I think it's a good thing. We don't need a country/workforce of drones.
