Sign Manny Rally

Manny mania hit midtown Manhattan last night. On message board threads over the course of the past week, a "Sign Manny Ramirez" rally was organized to be held outside of the SNY Studios during the network's live Mets Hot Stove broadcast.

The crowd was a bit smaller than expected (approximately 30 people), but boisterous nevertheless. Chants of "We want Manny!" were screamed throughout the show - with one fan even doing so through a megaphone. Signs plastered the glass of the studio with images of the 36 year old right-hander.

The leader of the pack, and focus of SNY's outdoor coverage, even had a customized Mets Ramirez jersey. When asked where he got it, he said his mother got it for him. "She's an even bigger Manny fan than I am!"
