Manny Ramirez was a carefree monster on the baseball diamond. When he came to Boston in 2001 he contributed mightily in turning around the franchise. I loved to watch him step up to the plate because he could flat out hit. Fielding was a different adventure though. His cutoff of Damon's throw was a classic example of "Manny being Manny". Unfortunately Manny couldn't refrain from his HGH and even though he probably didn't really need it, it will more than likely keep him out of the Hall. He is one of several players that I collected throughout their career who got caught up in that scenario but I haven't been able to bring myself to abandon my collections of them. Manny is a member of my 1000 card club as I currently have 1728 unique Beckett recognized cards of him of which here are nine from my collection.
