Not surprisingly, the LA Dodgers have found a creative way to capitalize off their new favorite player, Manny Ramirez. Fans choosing to buy tickets in sections 51 through 53, the sections closest to Manny's left field position, will pay $99 (99 being Manny's number) for a pair of tickets, along with a tshirt with the phrase "I was in Mannywood."
If this new promotion was not enough to make the rest of the team green with envy, at least two new murals have been installed downtown, featuring large pictures of Manny Ramirez with the phrase "Mannywood." Considering this is only his second season on the team, this kind of response seems almost overenthusiastic.
This was my mentality when I walked in to my first Dodger game this season. I was not a big Manny fan, he was overrated, and frankly his pants were a few sizes too big. Then on his first time up to bat he cranked one out of the park and the crowd went wild. I have to admit, I now see what all the fuss is about.
