Manny Ramirez Is a Clean-Cut Young Man
By Jamie Mottram | October 3, 2008
After a torrid two months to close the regular season in L.A., Manny has a homer in each of the first two games of Dodgers-Cubs. And as bad as I feel about that for Cubs fans, I can’t help but be happy for the guy who has been knocking the cover off the ball and entertaining us for 15 seasons. So let’s take it back to the salad days in Cleveland, as we did with slim Jim Thome, via ‘93 Upper Deck Manny, sans dreadlocks but irrepressible as ever.
(Note the similarities between Manny’s portrait and Dave Morgan’s. Birds of a feather, those two.)

You sure that’s not Roberto Alomar in a lighter moment?

Don’t forget about the ‘92 Bowman Manny Ramirez where he is rocking the Jheri curl and striped shirt. Think he’s still got this outfit tucked away somewhere?

Damn it, Diceshooter, yours is better than mine too, though it is nice to know that Manny and me dressed exactly the same in 1992.
