LF – Manny Ramirez

Manny dominated in Boston for the seven and a half years he spent here. He featured as an All-Star every season and also won a six silver slugger awards with the Red Sox.

The 2004 postseason saw Manny lead the Sox to the World Series title, on the back of the WS MVP award, where he hit .412 and drove in four. His three-run walk-off home run in Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS will be remembered fondly by all Sox fans as one of the most iconic moments in the history of the team.

Along with David Ortiz, the Red Sox offense was a scary presence for the opposing teams, through this period. The 2004 season saw Manny hit 43 homers and record 130 RBI’s, which was pivotal in the journey to the 2004 World Series title. He record eleven and sixteen RBI’s in the 2004 and 2007 postseason campaigns, respectively.

Ramirez has been one of the most important players for the Red Sox, this century and was pivotal in the turnaround. His career in Boston, was one of the most dominant tenures, in recent memory, and Manny joins the likes of Red Sox outfield greats, such as Jim Rice and Dwight Evans as everlasting legends in Boston.
