Manny Ramirez Thought First Hit Was A Homer 22 Years Ago Today, Was Wrong (GIFs)

Manny being Manny didn’t just start when he came to Boston. It was there from the start.

Manny Ramirez recorded his first major league hit 22 years ago Thursday as a member of the Cleveland Indians at Yankee Stadium. After going hitless the night before, Ramirez drilled a ball that one-hopped into the left-field stands. But as you’ll see below, he didn’t stop at second base following his ground-rule double — he kept going and rounded third before figuring it out.

In true Manny fashion, though, he did go deep later in the game — twice.

Classic Manny.
