Fan Appreciation Manny Style

posted by MoneyMouth

In all my years of watching baseball, I have never seen anything like this before:
null
































In case you can't tell, that's Manny Ramirez giving a high-five to a fan in the stands after he caught a fly ball hit by Kevin Millar before the inning was over with runners on base. If that's not shocking enough, Manny was still able to turn and fire, doubling up Aubrey Huff at first to end the inning. When Manny returned to the dugout, he celebrated with his teammates and pointed to the big screen to help explain his antics which they couldn't make out from their point of view.

While most people are writing about how this is just Manny being Manny, I'm still in shock that Manny "high-fived" the guy. I mean, really: a high-five? Everyone knows the fist bump is the way of the future. And here's Manny waisting his time with slapping hands -- the lowest form of male primate ritual. But then again, maybe this is what it means for Manny to actually be Manny.
