Manny Ramirez and Shawn Green to Throw Out First Pitches for NLCS Games at Dodger Stadium
Manny Ramirez, the legendary power hitter, is set to throw out the first pitch for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) at Dodger Stadium. This honor comes as the Dodgers face off against the New York Mets in the playoffs. Ramirez, who joined the Dodgers in 2008, quickly became a fan favorite and played a significant role in the team’s turnaround during his tenure.
Joining Ramirez in this ceremonial honor is another Dodger legend, Shawn Green, who will throw out the first pitch for Game 2 of the NLCS. Both players are celebrated for their contributions to the Dodgers’ history and their impact on the team’s success.
The decision to have Ramirez and Green participate in these pre-game ceremonies is seen as a tribute to their careers and their lasting influence on the Dodgers franchise. While some comments have noted that the timing coincides with the 15-year anniversary of Ramirez’s 50-game suspension for steroid use, the primary focus remains on honoring their achievements and connection to the team.
