Manny Ramirez was inducted into the Guardians’ Hall of Fame on Saturday for his seven-plus-year stint with the franchise. And at the event, the 12-time All-Star was asked about his time with Cleveland and the disappointment of not winning a World Series.
Ramirez gave his take on why his Cleveland teams, which earned five consecutive playoff berths from 1995 through ’99, were never able to win a World Series—and he was blunt with his answer.
“I think we should have won it, but we had no pitching,” he said, according to The Athletic.
