Just Manny being walk-up ticket sales gold.
Not only is Manny Ramirez paying dividends on the field for the Dodgers, but he’s starting to help drive walk-up sales at the box office, too.
We haven’t seen any official stats on this particular matter yet, but a little birdie…who attends every game at Dodger Stadium…e-mailed Clubhouse Cancer to report how it appears there are hundreds, if not thousands more Hispanics filling the canary-yellow bleachers lately.
We all know that Los Angeles is filled to the brim with Latinos and it seems they finally have a true Hispanic hometown hero for which to cheer, as evidenced by the recent video below.
If that is truly the case…the Dodgers would be fucking crazy not to re-sign Manny for the next 3-4 years when his current contract expires at the end of the season.
In sports, you promote to the market you have…and since we all know how popular béisbol is in the Latino world…Manny just might be the transcendent Hispanic-American champion which many, many sports-crazy expatriates have been dying to worship.
Plus…no offense intended…but they drink a lot of beer, too.
Right on Guys!
