I.m pretty sure he does, there are about 1 to 2 million Dominicans that live there, which is the largest Dominican population in the States. If he did not, I would be surprised.


Yup! There was this one artical i loved:

http://www.mannyramirez.com/biography.html

"1986: At the age of 13, Manny moves to New York City. He spends the next 5 years in Washington Heights, a part of town that may as well be the Dominican Republic.

1988 - 1991: Manny attended George Washington High School in New York City. He was not a good student and didn't graduate. Despite four years of high school in the U.S., he learned only a small amount of English. But he was a star on the baseball team. Manny received All-City honors in 1989, '90 and '91 and was named New York City Public Schools "High School Player of the Year". Manny also played Pony League, American Legion and Connie Mack ball."
