Homers or hijinks, Red Sox fans never knew what they would get from Manny Ramirez. Now it’s their turn to surprise the enigmatic slugger. Will they think of his leisurely trots down the first base line and boo? Or will they recall his drives over the Green Monster and cheer? Ramirez’s former Boston teammates aren’t predicting how the crowd will react when he brings his act back to Fenway Park on Friday night for the first time since being traded in 2008. He’s expected to be the designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series. Mike Lowell, one of baseball’s most down-to-earth players, plans to listen closely to the reception for the flaky Ramirez. In 7 1/2 seasons with the Red Sox, Ramirez batted .312 with 274 homers and 868 RBIs. He was the MVP of the 2004 World Series when Boston won the title for the first time since 1918. And he worked very hard in the batting cage.
He also high-fived a fan in Baltimore after making a leaping catch before throwing the ball in to finish a double play. Against the Angels, he dove for a fly then rolled onto the ball that had fallen in front of him. By the time he retrieved it, Maicer Izturis had a triple. And he angered team management. One of the last clashes came when he said he couldn’t play because of a knee problem but couldn’t say which knee hurt. MRIs showed no damage. A few days later, on July 31, 2008, he was traded to the Dodgers. Fans may not get to see a lot of Ramirez. Dodgers manager Joe Torre plans to use him at designated hitter in all three games. Ramirez has hit well in his last four games, going 7 for 13 with two doubles, two homers, six runs and five RBIs. In a 7-1 loss at Cincinnati on Thursday, he pinch hit with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning and grounded out to shortstop.
