The baggy pants are his tribute to Charlie Chaplin, and the pine tar is his tribute to Al Jolson.
You got a problem with that?

Re: Rant : Manny Ramirez's helmet
Wow, it's funny. I'm a pretty conservative guy, but I don't any problem with the pine tar on his helmet. I don't think he's trying snuff out the logo, I get it that he puts his hand there after every pitch to adjust his helmet.
I don't have a problem with his baggy pants, either. Just watched "Eight Men Out" the other night. those are some baggy unis. And they are very, very old fashioned. I guess when you say "Old Fashioned" you just mean the style you like. When the style you like was new, it was probably derided as too new.
I don't have a problem with unbuttoned tops, flat bills, gold chains (as long as the stats support said flaunting), or dirty hats. I do have a problem with the hat being pulled to the side. To Gang-related for my tastes, too gangsta. Why can't MLB patrol this? What's their problem. "Writing DK on your hat brim to honor a dead teammate? That's too far. Wearing you hat to indicate what gang allegiance you hold to? Sure, go ahead."
As far as Manny-Be-Manny, I don't have any problem with him. If some team(s) are willing to pay him his cash and put up with his antics, it's on them not him. But I do have a problem with his (suggested) rasta lifestlye. Family sport, my friend. Family sport.

Meh..
It's a game played for fun.. I don't see the big deal with being yourself while playing. A flat brim is a big deal? I don't understand why.

Re: Rant : Manny Ramirez's helmet
I don't mind most of the Manny being Manny bit. I take issue with his lax attitude toward playing the OF and occasionally not running out ground balls.
As fussy as MLB is about trademarks and the like, I'm surprised they haven't mandated clean helmets.
