‘I’ll kick you out of this house if you don’t cut that hair’

By Benjamin Kabak

While Manny Ramirez may be hitting .565/.615/1.130 in the early going with the Dodgers, apparently a 341 OPS+ isn’t quite good enough for Joe Torre. In a piece that notes the $200,000 Dodger fans have spent on Manny merchandise in the past week, Deadspin scribe Rick Chandler reports that Torre would like to see Manny cut his trademark dreadlocks. Oh, Joe. When will you ever learn?

Hasn’t anyone told him Manny derives all of his power from the hair?

Someone has to tell Manny how ridiculous he looks.

 
A.D. says:

Apparently Torre made some other player cut his hair, and he doesn’t want a double stanadard.

On top of that I had read reports he already agreed to cut it….ahh Manny being Manny in laid back LA

 
Bruno says:

Hair effects ability to hit baseball, how?

Eric says:

See Judges, Chapter 16. Like Samson, Manny must have dedicated his hair to God (or some higher power), giving him extraordinary hitting abilities.

 
 
The Honorable Congressman Mondesi says:

Darlin dont you go and cut your hair, do you think its gonna make him change?

(I’ll raise you a 90s music “hair cut” reference.)

 
Adam says:

i heard that manny flew his stylist out to l.a. on the plane with him so that he could get the haircut he promised.

manny has a stylist? that guy must suck at his job.

 
Greg says:

Supposedly Torre asked him right after the trade, and he said he would. Now I absolutely love Manny sticking it to the old geezer. Better that the Dodgers are going to start selling Manny wigs with hats attached. So now I love how they’re not paying Manny a salary and making mucho merchandising dough. Good times!

 
E-ROC says:

Wow, those dreadlocks are really hurting the team chemistry and Manny’s performance. They represent the thuggery of the rap music. Damn that rap music!

 
dan says:

Jamal will like this–

Manny’s RC/27 is 32.13 since the trade (yes, those decimals are in the right places).

 
Chris says:

He should cut his dreds and sell them on ebay. He could make a ton of money for charity…

radnom says:

or for booze money

 
 
Marshal Brett Marshall says:

DOING STUFF FOR CHARITY IS REALLY COOL!! I’M IN THE KEY CLUB! MY ADVISOR TOLD ME TO JOIN KEY CLUB SO I COULD GET INTO A BETTER COLLEGE, BUT THE YANKEES GAVE ME A MILLION DOLLARS SO I GUESS I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SCHOOL! BUT IT WAS STILL REALLY COOL TO DO KEY CLUB AND DOING CHARITY WORK IS THE BEST!!!
