Probably had one of the best baseball swings of his era, yet the golf swing conquers all! :-D

The first time he's ever swung a club?  I'd say that's not too bad at all.  A little Key #2 work and I bet he could smash it!

You think he'd be a natural since the baseball and golf swings are so similar ;-)

I agree with Drew, This guy probably has some of the best hang eye coordination around, a little work and he would be able to kill the ball. Look at how he doesn't overswing! It looked pretty natural to me.. Even the sway is to a minimum, he should sign up for evolvr

Is he still playing baseball? Last I heard he was in the minors for the Cubs. Maybe golf can be his new passion.

But seriously, guys, this is the perfect sport for Manny. He can hit the ball and just stand there and watch it fly :-D

It's just "Manny being Manny". :-D

Off topic, but the best Manny story was by Terry Francona.  The Sox were play some team and Manny was on second base.  The pitcher and catcher seemed to be upset about something.  Francona went to the plate to see what all the fuss was about.  The catcher said that Ramirez was stealing signals.  Francona laughed and said, "Manny doesn't even know OUR signals."

He was a player-manager last year for their AAA team. Not sure what he's doing next season.

Player/hitting mentor. I'm pretty certain there's not an organization in baseball that would consider putting that dude in charge of a team.

Agreed.  He never had much respect for managers.  He may be a good hitting coach, but I'm not sure he has the communication skills.

I'm just glad that my worse swings ever aren't filmed, put on YouTube and then laughed at on a forum.

And really that was just a foul tip, he get's three strikes.

I doubt he cares about what some people he's never met on a website he's never heard of thinks of his golf swing. I know I wouldn't.
