Style Profile: Manny Ramirez
Long-haired hitter Manny Ramirez ducks a Ubaldo Jimenez pitch in an Aug. 19 home game against the Colorado Rockies. The week before, Dodgers manager Joe Torre answered reporters questions about speculation Ramirez would cut his hair per his managers request. I asked him to clean it up a bit and thats what he did, said Torre about the inch or so trim. Right now its just about around the shoulders, and its not covering his name up and all that stuff, so well continue to monitor and talk about it. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)
Ramirezs unique sense of style came west with him, as was evident on an Aug. 1 tour of Dodger Stadium before his first game as a member of the team. His trademark hair wrapped in a white do-rag, he was wearing a goatee and outsized sunglasses, along with a short-sleeve shirt with athletic-style shoulder stripes. (Lori Shepler / Los Angeles Times)
Arriving in Tokyo on March 20 for the Red Sox season opener against the Oakland Athletics, Ramirezs ensemble included a light blue, high-collared dress shirt worn open at the neck over a crew-neck T-shirt. He also wore a brown micro-check three-button, notch-collar blazer and boot-cut jeans. (Koichi Kamoshida / Getty Images)
