It should be added to his page that he became only the seventh player to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded. He did so tonight(4/24/09) against the Rockies at Coors Field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhettd ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
78 post-season RBIs – 1st ???
Bernie Williams is 80 RBIs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Verbty2987 ( talk • contribs) 15:13, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
The "Manny Being Manny" section of this article is downright awful, and it's clearly been written from the perspective of a Boston Red Sox fan. Labelling incidents as "the final straw" and saying things like "led Red Sox nation to demand the deportation of number 24" is ridiculously POV and should be deleted or edited. Also, Red Sox nation is solely a creation of the media and Boston fans and isn't an actual entity or physical reality.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.254.119 ( talk • contribs)
"On July 18, 2005, Ramirez disappeared into the "Green Monster" during a visit to the mound by pitching coach Dave Wallace with two outs in the top of the 6th inning. When pitcher Wade Miller[29] was ready to resume pitching, Ramirez was nowhere to be found.
It is suggested he went to urinate or even defecate, but there are no toilet facilities inside the scoreboard area.Manny has returned to the wall several times since during pitching changes, but has always returned on time. Ramirez also was seen playing left field at Fenway with a water bottle in his back pocket.[30][31]"

The result of the proposal was consensus against move.

Wikipedia's naming conventions.I'm not a big fan of the current way the wiki deals with this. His suspension and basic information, which can be distilled into a sentence or two, should be found in the intro. Further, the information given here is shoddy. Manny was busted for having actually used steroids AND using HCG. They knew he was using steroids because of the his hormone ratios. So his suspension is not exlusively about HCG. That's just the one they have a paper trial to. Anyway, the intro should cover this latest controversy. 66.190.29.150 ( talk) 22:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Like I said when this news first broke, steroids were implicated: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-manny-hgc15-2009may15,0,5088726.story http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4159870 I guess the LA Times, ESPN and the SF Chronical aren't good enough for wikepedia's standards. Even though he was only suspended for the use HCG without an MLB "ok" to use the drugs he was also found to have had elevated and synthetic testosrone levels. Synthetic testosterone = taking steroids = manny took steroids. 66.190.29.150 ( talk) 11:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
"Ramirez' authorized biography, Becoming Manny: Inside the Life of Baseball's Most Enigmatic Slugger was released in bookstores March 10, 2009." I'd suggest removing the phrase alltogether, due to its irrelevance in the article (particularly as every major sports player has an autobiography nowadays). The article is protected, so if anyone with the power wants to remove the lign, go ahead. French Connections ( talk) 18:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
The page should be updated from the vague 'he also was scheduled to play a few games in the minors prior to rejoining the active roster' to the more accurate 'Manny played two games at AAA Albuquerque and is scheduled to play four games with Class A Lake Elsinore before rejoining the Dodgers.

{{editsemiprotected}} Manny Ramirez was claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox. As of today (August 30, 2010) he no longer plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago White Sox will pay the remaining $4.2 million of his contract as he plays out the rest of the year in Chicago.

Taking a quick break from actually improving article, I want to comment on the page protection on Manny Ramirez that has thankfully been in place for some time, preventing any vandalism that otherwise would have overwhelmed this page today in light of the news.

Manny Ramirez → Manny Ramírez –
I propose that the solution to the {{ prose}} tag in the "Off the Field" section is to give the list a prose lead. The information already in that list works in list format, but it could use a section intro. Jorgath ( talk) 23:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
I find it very sad that he was one of the greatest hitters ever and the majority of his intro is about PEDs. There is way too much information about the PEDs in the intro, the majority of which can be shifted down to the actual section of the article that talks about that. Sounds more like a slanderous hate article then an "encyclopedic" supposedly non-biased article. That being said, I have my doubts that anything will change.

Be deleted. It is basically spam for some no name rapper with no cultural significance. It needlessly clutters the article.

In the 2009 controlled substance scandal, You should insert the names of the identified doctors that contriobuted to the situation (Dr. Pedro Bosch and his son Anthony P Bosch). Both were identifed by ESPN, YAHOO and every other major news source. Both are again currently under investigation for providing PEDs to Alex Rodriguez, Melky Caberrera and Paul Braun, and MLB stars.

Since Manny has not appeared in a MLB game since 2011, is it acceptable to add "Last MLB Appearance" to his info box.
For those of you wondering: Last MLB Appearance: April 6, 2011 for the Tampa Bay Rays
It could always be changed in the unlikely event that he returns to MLB in the future. -- Boston Burkenation ( talk) 00:11, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I am doing this review per request. But give me a few days however, as I still got 2 more GA reviews to finish and this will be an extremely detailed review. Thanks Secret account 02:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Well I did a quick glance though it and I see major problems with the article.... it needs some massive expansion, hardly anything written about him on his Cleveland days, eight seasons into barely three paragraphs!! Playoff heroics and World Series into one paragraph!!! very statsy, nothing on his playing style or his popularity with fans outside a two sentence "personality" section, multiple dead links, and so forth. This is going to be a fail unless you want me to go though how to proceed with this article for a chance to pass GA in the future. Secret account 03:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hey guys,
So I think the Personality section would be good if it focused primarily on "Manny being Manny", which it is intended to. However, I'm stuck on what to include, so if any baseball editor could help me out, that would be great. I'm pinging, Go Phightins! and EricEnfermero for help, but any suggestions from anyone are welcomed. Thanks, Sportsguy17 ( T • C) 03:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I'll be glad to take a look at this. I notice that SG17 has been away from WP for an extended period and I don't know if he plans to return. With that in mind, I'll leave some initial feedback. If anyone responds to it in the next few days, we'll continue the review. If not, we can close the review until there is an active nominator.

Let's start there and see what response we get. If this feedback is addressed, we can move to a section-by-section look at the prose. Thanks, everyone, for a lot of work on the expansion of this entry. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 04:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

For those of you wondering: Last MLB Appearance: April 6, 2011 for the Tampa Bay Rays
It could always be changed in the unlikely event that he returns to MLB in the future. -- Boston Burkenation ( talk) 00:11, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I am doing this review per request. But give me a few days however, as I still got 2 more GA reviews to finish and this will be an extremely detailed review. Thanks Secret account 02:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Well I did a quick glance though it and I see major problems with the article.... it needs some massive expansion, hardly anything written about him on his Cleveland days, eight seasons into barely three paragraphs!! Playoff heroics and World Series into one paragraph!!! very statsy, nothing on his playing style or his popularity with fans outside a two sentence "personality" section, multiple dead links, and so forth. This is going to be a fail unless you want me to go though how to proceed with this article for a chance to pass GA in the future. Secret account 03:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hey guys,
So I think the Personality section would be good if it focused primarily on "Manny being Manny", which it is intended to. However, I'm stuck on what to include, so if any baseball editor could help me out, that would be great. I'm pinging, Go Phightins! and EricEnfermero for help, but any suggestions from anyone are welcomed. Thanks, Sportsguy17 ( T • C) 03:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I'll be glad to take a look at this. I notice that SG17 has been away from WP for an extended period and I don't know if he plans to return. With that in mind, I'll leave some initial feedback. If anyone responds to it in the next few days, we'll continue the review. If not, we can close the review until there is an active nominator.

Let's start there and see what response we get. If this feedback is addressed, we can move to a section-by-section look at the prose. Thanks, everyone, for a lot of work on the expansion of this entry. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 04:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Update: I forgot that I had this open, but I hope to continue the feedback by this weekend. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 11:42, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm so sorry for the delay. We can start with the lead...

Once we get these addressed, I may take one more look and make some copyedits, but I think we are getting closer. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 02:51, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Impressive work on the very large entry of a popular baseball player.

The section on his personal life notes that his son, Manny Jr., plays for a minor league team in New Britain, CT, as of 2018. Currently he plays for the Brockton Rox of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England. ( http://baseball.pointstreak.com/player.html?playerid=1577314&seasonid=33288). I don't really feel well enough versed in editing and properly formatting citations to make that update, but I wanted to point it out in case someone else will. 12.132.105.50 ( talk) 13:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
