Manny Ramirez won the 1999 Indianapolis 500

Manny Ramirez is one of the most misunderstood men of our times; a victim of a culture of superficiality and prejudice, in the minds of most folks he is a simple boy-child awash on the shores of the harsh adult world of Major League Baseball.

AND YET:

• He was the lead designer of the F-22 Raptor, the guaranteer of America's air superiourity for decades to come.
• He has set foot on all six continents and spent two years as a Russian-Orthodox priest on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.
• Played the marimba on Tito Puente's 2002 album, Hot Timbales!.
• AND MORE!!!
