Tbh, I still love Manny. Even after all the drug tests, he was still fun to watch. I mean, how do you make a catch while running into a wall, high five a fan. And still have time to throw a guy out at first. Unbelievable. Great series Matt👍
I loved that. I was actually at Manny's 500th homerun game, and I got a sweet picture of it; considering the mid-00s digital camera I had on me. He is still probably my second favorite player of all-time. The dude made baseball fun in an era where stripping the game of personality was common.
I’ll never forget meeting Manny in a coffee shop in Brooklyn NY before a Youth Service game. He was already a legend throughout High School baseball so everyone knew who he was...I got to play against him and was witness to an amazing hitting display. Manny that day was 6 for 6 with 3 HRs and 8 RBI’s.
After getting reinstated, when he played at the Dominican winter league, on his first at bat, first pitch, he hit a HR to the left right . That swing kick started the loudest night in the Dominican Republic that year. 😂
For the 4th time, my favorite player. I actually teared up in the last bit of this video. Because he will always be the best player to me no matter what he did and if he cheated. Your the best Manny, and that will never change.
Regardless of what you think of him, baseball is in desperate need of players like Manny. A generational talent, funny, great for spectators and players alike and LOVED by most of the fans. It's crazy how non-baseball fans will always be like "oh ya Manny Ramirez of course", but don't know current players. Like my sisters have never watched a baseball game, but both know Manny as a household name - yet had no idea who Mike Trout is. No matter what you think of him (I love the guy) we need more Manny's for the good of the sport.
This 3-part series was excellent in every measure. You weaved Manny's story into all the context and made it educational and entertaining. Well researched, well-edited, and just fascinating. You deftly explain some of baseball’s lesser know stats to non-baseball people, at the same time providing a circumspect objective view on the controversy of his legacy and mistakes. Well done.
Can we prove he did this with malicious intent? Well there’s a documentary about it where his “doctor” confesses the whole thing. His performance on TRT is what inspired A-Rod to juice. That’s right folks. Manny has just as terrible character as A-Rod. Deal with it.
I remember when manny was a coach on my cubs, i was at the game when the cubs clinched a playoff spot in 2015, and before the game when he was walking back from the bullpen with Pedro Strop, the section I was in every one started cheering Manny! Manny! And he tipped his cap to us which was pretty cool
Great video series 👍... BUT! You forgot the time Manny came in for a pinch hit while injured on Manny Ramirez bobble head night and hit a grand slam home run... oh and where did the ball land you ask? Mannywood!!!! On my top 3 baseball moments.
I am sick of the baseball purest who argue against Manny being in the HOF. He was one of the best during his peak and he was the type of player you wanted to have on your team...a draw. Not many players are draws, but Manny was.
As someone who grew up in Boston during both the 2004 and 2007 World Series, watching Manny was something else. And to have him and Ortiz hitting bombs along side of each other from 2003-2008 was crazy. I certainly didn't realize how lucky we were at the time. Much love for Manny. Fantastic video! You got me to subscribe. Keep these coming!
I absolutely loved this lil series. Manny has always been my fav. and I didn't know ANY OF THIS STUFF!!! Now I love him 1,000 times more. VOTE MANNY INTO COOPERSTOWN, HE DESERVES IT!!!!
That was awesome! I played with Manny in High School and saw him play in little league in Washington Heights and he was always a great hitter. He is also a very hard worker and practiced for hours on end. He is a hall of fame guy, and a hall of fame talent and I'm happy he is in a good place.
I’ll never forget watching him when he played with the Albuquerque Isotopes. We went to the first game he played in sold out he lined a ball down the first base line behind the dugout foul and my uncle reached up bear handed and caught it.
Watched manny play ever since I was a little guy watching the Sox. This man really has a special relationship with the game and it hurts to see him away from it. I hope he gets in the HOF. There will never be another Manny. Keep being you Manny. We love you and talk about you like your still here in Boston. Take it easy my friend
I will always respect Manny. Being a life long dodger fan since 92 I never really saw any playoffs success until 08 when he arrived. I was there for pinch hit grand slam on his bobble head night. Dodger stadium was electric that night.
I never followed manny’s career in the dodgers after the trade but now knowing how good he still was in the dodgers at his age is cool to see, He’s a beast.
Manny Ramirez was one of my heroes growing up. Him, Albert Pujols, and Larry Walker inspired me to be an outfielder when I started playing baseball myself, he was on the cover of the first baseball game I played (mvp 2005 I think) and we shared the same birthday. I’m truly happy to see that I’m not the only one that can still appreciate him for the player and person he was and still is.
I remember going to a couple Iowa Cubs games with my family in 2014. Manny was one of my favorite players and getting to see him bat in a game was amazing. He struck out in the one at bat, and I remember a couple of dudes behind us started booing him for striking out. My brother got up, looked at them and said, "You boo Manny, I boo you." I'll never forget that
Coming from a lifelong Yankees fan, I like Manny alot. Dude was a monster and you could see he loved the game. Players like him and Beltre don’t come around often.
Manny Ramirez was juiced on mlb power pros for the wii. Always remember hitting bombs with him in that game. Never knew his whole career story. Easily my new favorite player of all time great series!
Manny is my all time favorite player bar none, simply because he had more talent than anyone and didn’t give a shit did whatever he wanted never sold out mentally I salute you Mr.Ramirez
He was taking a steroid they werent able to test for yet, the "other" drug was to help him cycle off it. He 100% was knowingly taking steroids, there is no ambiguity surrounding this situation.
Not necessarily. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that you didn't do steroids he absolutely did, but it might not have been something that they don't test for. In fact I would almost guarantee that it wasn't something that they do not test for because. The anti estrogen drugs that he got caught with, Is something that you take for a post cycle after you finished your steroid cycle. And the steroid that you take that requires the anti estrogen, is testosterone. He had to have been taking testosterone for him to need to take the drug that they caught him with. And There's no type of testosterone that is not able to be tested for. There is, however, a testosterone called TNT or test no Ester that is out of your system very very quickly. But it's still able to be tested for it's just out of your system very very quickly. But either way I could care less if he took them or not. 70 to 80% of the guys in the major leagues during that time were taking steroids. In fact the best baseball ever was was during the steroid era. It saved it from the brink of collapse after the strike. And I would be 100% in favor of them ending testing and just letting them do whatever they want. Steroids made baseball better and should be allowed
No, he finished a cycle of steroids and was taking the drug to up his natural testosterone again..... He did steroids and like the guy said it was at a time when consequences of doing so were clear so HOF voters have little sympathy.
He was never mentioned as part of the steroid era group, only much later. Such a great hitter and funny personality - how can you not like him? Definitely a hall of famer. Great video!
Man, that prank is so funny. Manny will always be Manny. Like Pete Rose, he won't be in the HOF but will always be remembered for the great things he did in and off the field.
Great video... His life and career could be a netflix series or a 2 hour doc. Anyway... All the old cheaters deserve to be in the HOF, especially Manny. He made every team better. He produced when it mattered most. One of the best right handers to ever swing the bat.
One of the best players I seen play in my time and I started watching in 1973. Manny and Barry Bonds were the best and maybe throw in Pete Rose or Ricky Henderson as my top 3.
One of your best made videos! Kudos. This video is the reason why I'm subscribing to you today thank you for all the research you've done and all the hard work you put into this. It really shows.
The movie screwball on Netflix talks about tony bosch and the whole biogenesis thing and mentions what manny was taking. Nonetheless Manny was one of my favorite players growing up! Awesome content!
I wanted to comment the same thing. Such an great documentary, because it perfectly drivers home the point how everybody involved acted like a bunch of kids.
If you weren't there in Los Angeles at the time, it's really hard to appreciate the intensity of Manny-mania. I've not seen anything like it save Fernando.
Manny attends my girlfriends church. When I found out I went a little star struck. Im not the type of guy to go asking for autographs or pictures, though. From what I know, the man IS seeking redemption on a spiritual level as well. Great videos.
He became Born Again at age 40. He received forgiveness & redemption... & is very vocal about his faith. Praise Jesus! I'm so happy for the brother. He's from Washington Heights like me. God bless...
Fun fact, after the suspension, when he finally play here in DR in his hometown, he hit a HR at the very first picht and not juts the stadium but the entire country went crazy, seeing our all time loved Manny Ramirez finally playing at home and hitting a dinger 😭. You can search the video, write (Manny Ramirez HR primer turno)
Manny has been such a huge part of my fandom. As a Cubs fan, I was so incensed that the player that single handedly destroyed us in '08 was pinged for using a banned substance. Then he comes back a tutors Javy and I have such complicated feelings about Manny, ughh.
Someone did this when I worked at Nordstrom back in the day. Best part is he stayed at work and finished his shift with a hard-on. He just carried the boxes a little lower than usual hahaha
I have seen so my #2 to Tony Conigliaro . He hit the ball harder than Stargell Thome,Sheffield and Papi. I worked for the aRED SOX in 2004 &2005 he is a a kind and sweet man. I can only hope he makes the hall❤
I highly suggest watching “Screwball” on Netflix, there is really no doubt as to Manny’s involvement and knowledge of steroids when you dig into the medical documentation and legal testimonies of many of the involved parties. With that being said he’s still a legend who brought so much to the game and in my opinion deserves to be in the hall of fame
Oh well. He’s still about Due for his vote into The HOF. If not for the tests he’d have been a 1st Ballot so too much longer will be overdue for Manny to be in The HOF. BONDS is overdue now.
I think his persona far outweighs all the flaws on Manny's record. Baseball needs more personality, and Manny should be pushed forward as the fun quirky side of the game
I can’t believe this was already all the way back in 2008, that Dodgers trade. Seemed like he was in Boston even longer than 7 1/2 to me. Seems more like 2011. Lol Just was so BIG that it’s embedded in my mind, making it seem much more recent. He RAKED in LA , before getting popped.
Growing up as an Angel’s fan I always hated Manny because he would just drop bombs and the Sox always won. Glad to see this when I’m older, seems like a very cool guy.
He was a legend, and I think he'll get his plaque eventually, be it 3 years or 300 years from now. Even a hard anti-steroid guy who wants nobody who ever did steroids once in the hall like myself is softening up over the years. The fact that he kept trying to break back in to MLB shows me he wanted to prove he could still play without cheating. And next to Barry Bonds, Manny's probably the second most deserving PED player out there.
Adrian Beltre, Bartolo Colon, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Kevin Millar and David Ortiz have been the funnest to watch in our generation, it was a real treat.
Yeah I don't know if you heard the same crowd reaction at Fenway in 2010 as I did. To me it was obvious that it was a pretty good mix of cheers and boos.
Manny Ramirez NEEDS to be in the Hall of Fame. Here's the thing, the normal plain Jane fan will never understand why players do what they do like Manny...but people who have played the game for a long time understand that players do what they gotta do to stay in the game. Those "enhancement drugs" didn't help him put up numbers. That was all Manny, his swing, his mechanics. Enhancements don't do that. All it does is help you stay in the game longer. I really hope he gets in the HOF. He has one of the best swing's in baseball. Much love Manny

So much swag and drip lol, he’s one of a kind
I loved hearing vin scully call Manny. As a Dodgers fan this was a great touch.
TheGodAmongstMankind yeah IK. Polar opposites
So sad that baseball doesn't love him as much as he loves baseball
You guys should do a series on Barry Bonds or Randy Johnson next
only those two tho no one else
Randy Johnson for sure
Randy! Ooh thatd be so awesome. My fav pitcher ever
Barry would be great
And try to convince is that bonds didn't do ped's
Manny wasn’t Manny he was Manny
Correct
Dam right
Yes
Nah I think he was Manny
Can not argue with that
Fun fact: I was at his first game as a Dodger sitting in left field
Fun fact: I was at his last game in Boston.
Fun fact: I was at none of his games
Boring fact: Fun facts aren’t really fun
Nice 👍
I was a kid when he had that amazing second half and every kid in my family knew he got game
I loved that. I was actually at Manny's 500th homerun game, and I got a sweet picture of it; considering the mid-00s digital camera I had on me. He is still probably my second favorite player of all-time. The dude made baseball fun in an era where stripping the game of personality was common.
do you have it posted on any socials? I'd love to see it

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever come across. Notice how the words “baseball” or “sports” is left out of that sentence.
After getting reinstated, when he played at the Dominican winter league, on his first at bat, first pitch, he hit a HR to the left right . That swing kick started the loudest night in the Dominican Republic that year. 😂
I wasn’t into it that much but this man made me watch Las Alguilas even though I’m a Liceysta. That shows how much I love this guy🤣🤣❤️
For the 4th time, my favorite player. I actually teared up in the last bit of this video. Because he will always be the best player to me no matter what he did and if he cheated.
Your the best Manny, and that will never change.
I remember when he retired because of the 2nd PED test and hearing rumors saying it’s because he wouldn’t stope smoking marijuana
Regardless of what you think of him, baseball is in desperate need of players like Manny. A generational talent, funny, great for spectators and players alike and LOVED by most of the fans. It's crazy how non-baseball fans will always be like "oh ya Manny Ramirez of course", but don't know current players.

lets goooo. been waiting for this
I would consider continuing this type of video if i was you. Its got a nice Jon Bois vibe to it. I love it!
He will always be one of my top 5 favorite players. He was just so fun
I loved how laid back he was. Probably part of the reason he was so dominant, didn’t let the pressure get to him
Manny will always be my favorite baseball player ever
Possibly one of the BEST HITTERS EVER!
Im from SoCal.....and an Angels fan but Manny in LA was SPECIAL the whole STATE really was behind him
Bro right!!!!
Can this guy come back to MLB The Show 20 plz 🙏
21? Haha
no
Check the lineups man...no TRT Tards on the show. This is referred to as “consequences for your actions”
Can we prove he did this with malicious intent? Well there’s a documentary about it where his “doctor” confesses the whole thing. His performance on TRT is what inspired A-Rod to juice. That’s right folks. Manny has just as terrible character as A-Rod. Deal with it.
Manny on the dodgers was a hella fun time
Your from Northern California aren’t you?
If Manny never used whatever birth pill it was, people will be viewing the Dodgers very differently. And Manny will be a hall of famer by now
I remember when manny was a coach on my cubs, i was at the game when the cubs clinched a playoff spot in 2015, and before the game when he was walking back from the bullpen with Pedro Strop, the section I was in every one started cheering Manny! Manny! And he tipped his cap to us which was pretty cool
Die hard Yankees fan who absolutely hates the Red Sox, I love Manny Ramirez. Man was an amazing player with a personality to match.
Manny sitting at a baseball game with a Gucci hat is funniest thing I’ve seen
Most Awesome thing.
Great video series 👍... BUT! You forgot the time Manny came in for a pinch hit while injured on Manny Ramirez bobble head night and hit a grand slam home run... oh and where did the ball land you ask? Mannywood!!!! On my top 3 baseball moments.

I agree.
Man was that a most special time in Boston and I think we really needed a manny Ramirez in light of the things that had just happened in early 00's!!
This was probably one of my favorite series by any channel. It was so well done and researched and entertaining! Please do more players!
One of the greatest of all time.......👍🏻

This series has been amazing. Great work and thank you for making it.
This series was great! I sat 3 rows behind his last sox homer in a series vs houston. Dude is magic.
Manny was so fun in LA that’s probably my favorite time to watch him mannywood was lit 🔥
That was awesome! I played with Manny in High School and saw him play in little league in Washington Heights and he was always a great hitter. He is also a very hard worker and practiced for hours on end. He is a hall of fame guy, and a hall of fame talent and I'm happy he is in a good place.
Rafael Gonzalez the greatest hitter I ever grew up with😂
I’ll never forget watching him when he played with the Albuquerque Isotopes. We went to the first game he played in sold out he lined a ball down the first base line behind the dugout foul and my uncle reached up bear handed and caught it.

Always a fan of Manny, wish we had've gotten him in Toronto at some point since he liked it here so much.

Manny is a hall of famer in my book he was awesome for the game!
After watching these 3 videos, I've come out of it having a much greater deal of respect for him and a bigger realization of how dominant he was
I remember going to a couple Iowa Cubs games with my family in 2014. Manny was one of my favorite players and getting to see him bat in a game was amazing. He struck out in the one at bat, and I remember a couple of dudes behind us started booing him for striking out. My brother got up, looked at them and said, "You boo Manny, I boo you."

Freakin love these man, you’re so underrated
Coming from a lifelong Yankees fan, I like Manny alot. Dude was a monster and you could see he loved the game. Players like him and Beltre don’t come around often.
Been Waiting for this
Manny Ramirez was juiced on mlb power pros for the wii. Always remember hitting bombs with him in that game. Never knew his whole career story. Easily my new favorite player of all time great series!
Manny is my all time favorite player bar none, simply because he had more talent than anyone and didn’t give a shit did whatever he wanted never sold out mentally I salute you Mr.Ramirez
One of my best mlb memories is sitting right behind the dodger dugout as a kid watching manny launch one into the mannywood section
Great series of videos and Manny was so consistent on his numbers and he has been repentant - put him in the HOF
He was taking a steroid they werent able to test for yet, the "other" drug was to help him cycle off it. He 100% was knowingly taking steroids, there is no ambiguity surrounding this situation.

All your videos are great - this particular Manny series was extra special...

Man, that prank is so funny. Manny will always be Manny. Like Pete Rose, he won't be in the HOF but will always be remembered for the great things he did in and off the field.
This 3 part series was fucking epic, great job loved it
Manny is like if FlightReacts was very good at baseball
I always loved Manny and these videos made me like him even more.
Best 3 baseball videos I’ve ever watched thank you.

Thank you guys for explaining the advanced stats. I had zero idea what they meant until now. Thanks!
8:00 Domestic violence is something Manny is directly resonsible for. Don't blame MLB for enforcing its own damn drug policy
Great doc! I have a helluva lot more respect for him now!
I know I'd didn't pull crazy numbers, but this is one of the best docuseries I've seen on a player I'm a little to young to know a lot about.

I have seen so my #2 to Tony Conigliaro . He hit the ball harder than Stargell Thome,Sheffield and Papi. I worked for the aRED SOX in 2004 &2005 he is a a kind and sweet man. I can only hope he makes the hall❤
Excelentes 3 videos, yo me perdi con las estadisticas pero excelente!
Had the sweetest follow through swing
Wow after this series hes now one of my favorite players all time
Manny was huge during that season in Taiwan, we miss him dearly!
hes still my favorite of all time and he deserves the hall of fame
I highly suggest watching “Screwball” on Netflix, there is really no doubt as to Manny’s involvement and knowledge of steroids when you dig into the medical documentation and legal testimonies of many of the involved parties. With that being said he’s still a legend who brought so much to the game and in my opinion deserves to be in the hall of fame
Maybe the greatest opposite field power hitter ever
nothing is cloudy about Manny's roid use, the guy that put him on his roid program did a documentary about athletes and roids
Oh well.
He’s still about Due for his vote into The HOF.
If not for the tests he’d have been a 1st Ballot so too much longer will be overdue for Manny to be in The HOF.
BONDS is overdue now.
Watch the documentary Screwball. Him A-Rod and others were exposed.
@@giantchamp415 thats the one
I think his persona far outweighs all the flaws on Manny's record. Baseball needs more personality, and Manny should be pushed forward as the fun quirky side of the game
Facts
I can’t believe this was already all the way back in 2008, that Dodgers trade.
Seemed like he was in Boston even longer than 7 1/2 to me.
Seems more like 2011. Lol
Just was so BIG that it’s embedded in my mind, making it seem much more recent.
He RAKED in LA , before getting popped.
Growing up as an Angel’s fan I always hated Manny because he would just drop bombs and the Sox always won. Glad to see this when I’m older, seems like a very cool guy.
Manny is why I played baseball as a kid he’ll forever be great too me regardless of the ped tests
He was a legend, and I think he'll get his plaque eventually, be it 3 years or 300 years from now. Even a hard anti-steroid guy who wants nobody who ever did steroids once in the hall like myself is softening up over the years. The fact that he kept trying to break back in to MLB shows me he wanted to prove he could still play without cheating. And next to Barry Bonds, Manny's probably the second most deserving PED player out there.
Some guys just born to play Baseball...Manny is one of them
Adrian Beltre, Bartolo Colon, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Kevin Millar and David Ortiz have been the funnest to watch in our generation, it was a real treat.
The Latter Three Were On The Red Sox
Yeah I don't know if you heard the same crowd reaction at Fenway in 2010 as I did. To me it was obvious that it was a pretty good mix of cheers and boos.

Those "enhancement drugs" didn't help him put up numbers. That was all Manny, his swing, his mechanics. Enhancements don't do that. All it does is help you stay in the game longer. I really hope he gets in the HOF. He has one of the best swing's in baseball. Much love Manny
hitting the most playoff homeruns ever, that says it all!
Manny should be in the hall of fame, heck let him play in the Hall of Fame Classic.
Thank god this is out
