It's about an attitude, a personality, a vibe. Sanguillen was/is a character. Ramirez is a character. Mota, as far as I know, was pretty stoic, except for riding his bike around spring training.<br /><br />You want me to write about Dodgers every single post?

His manager, Frank Shellenback, told him that they had to go or he'd never make it to the bigs.<br /><br />His teammate, Chick Starr, gave Manny a trim and the next year he was playing with the Giants.Mark Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022715354021247303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-35163059439829017482009-10-08T19:27:25.364-04:002009-10-08T19:27:25.364-04:00Just sent you an email.Just sent you an email.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962464518956106665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-39655154068019724962009-10-08T19:20:30.825-04:002009-10-08T19:20:30.825-04:00Email me at anthony.m.oneill@gmail.com

What a...Manny Sanguillen was the Original Manny? <br /><br />What about Manny Mota (1962-1982)?<br />Or Manny Montejo (1961)?<br />Or Manny Salvo (1939-1943)?<br /><br />Mota had a .304 BA (over 20 seasons) and he, too, played catcher for the Pirates (but just for 2 innings in 1964). Mota was an All-Star, but just once (1973).<br /><br />And Mota was a Dodger. Not a <i>poser</i> Manny who hopped back and forth between leagues.<br /><br />So, Manny was Manny before Manny was Manny. Current Manny?
