Manny at the Bat

Ernest Lawrence Thayer's classic poem "Casey at the Bat" is perhaps the greatest baseball story of all time. Period.

The only possible criticism one could make of the story is the lack of personality exhibited by the titular titan, Casey.

The story is much improved when Casey is replaced with a more colorful character, like Milton Bradley (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/248205).

Therefore, I humbly submit a story of one of the greatest characters in Major League Baseball: Manny Ramirez.
