Authorized by the twelve-time all-Star and future Hall of famer
himself, and written by the nation's leading expert on youth
mentoring and an award-winning investigative journalist, the
incredible story behind one of the greatest baseball sluggers of
all-time.
Manny Ramirez is a future Hall of Fame outfielder who has played
in Los Angeles, Boston, and Cleveland. He ranks 17th in career
homeruns and eighth in career slugging percentage--the only players
above him on both lists are Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Barry
Bonds. Manny is the hottest icon in baseball right now, and that
will continue throughout the offseason, where speculation regarding
his free agency will be the top baseball news on ESPN and
throughout
sports media. In contrast to most sports biographies, Becoming
Manny brings an unusually
thoughtful analysis to the territory, examining
Manny's life through the lens of larger issues like
youth-mentoring and immigration, while also telling the story of a
great career. Manny has perplexed the baseball world for years now
with his amazing hitting and his unique approach to life and the
game. Incredibly focused at the plate and incredibly carefree
everywhere else, Manny has become a constant topic of discussion on
national sports radio and television, on sports websites, and in
print. With unprecedented access, Jean Rhodes and Shawn Boburg have
uncovered fascinating stories and family photos spanning from
Manny's early years in the Dominican Republic to the present. This
is an authorized inside look at the roots, development, and career
of an individual and player on his way from Washington Heights to
the Hall of Fame.
