Some guys just know how to put on a show.
We're not talking about guys like Nick Green, either. We're talking about the superstars of Major League Baseball who know how to treat the fans to unbelievable excitement.
Did you see what Manny Ramirez did last night for the Dodgers?
First, Manny doesn't even start because he got drilled with a fastball on the hand the night before so the Dodgers kept him out of the starting lineup for precautionary reasons.
Then, is a big situation, manager Joe Torre calls on his future Hall of Famer (we can debate that too if you want) to pinch hit with the bases juiced in the sixth inning.
And what does Manny do in front of the home fans who were going absolute bananas when he was announced over the loudspeaker?
Manny jumps on the first offering from Reds reliever Nick Masset and hammers a grand slam to left field to help the Dodgers win, 6-2.
Some guys just have the knack of delivering in the clutch, while others simply crumble when the spotlight is on them.
We all know Manny is clutch and he continues to prove it time and time again. So much for the stupid ideas that his career was a complete joke because he was busted and suspended for 50 games for violating the drug policy earlier this season.
Manny is just one of those special hitters that doesn't come around very often.
You'd be crazy not to pay money to see him rake, or even watch the circus that is Manny in the outfield. He's special, bottom line, and you can't take that away from him.
Who would you pay to see play and why?
