Angels prospect Lucas Ramirez's strange home run trot kinda reminds us of ... his All-Star dad's!

There’s a phrase baseball fans became familiar with in the early 2000s -- “Manny being Manny.”

Whenever 12-time All-Star Manny Ramirez high-fived a fan mid-play or disappeared into the Green Monster, it was just Manny being Manny. And it turns out the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Angels prospect Lucas Ramirez delivered a home run trot reminiscent of one of his dad’s famous moments during Single-A Rancho Cucamonga’s 11-8 victory over Fresno on Tuesday at LoanMart Field.

Batting second for the Quakes in the first inning, Lucas drilled a 3-2 fastball from right-hander Marcos Herrera (Rockies) high above the yellow line on the wall in left-center field. The ball ricocheted back onto the field and was thrown to third base by Fresno center fielder Cameron Nelson.

Ramirez didn’t realized it was a home run. He wheeled around second base and slid into third. The dead ball thrown by Nelson skipped past third baseman Carlos Renzullo and rolled into foul territory, prompting Ramirez to jump up and start toward home.

About two steps away from the bag, the umpire finally caught the 20-year-old's attention and signaled that he, in fact, had hit a home run. Ramirez jogged to the plate to close the tumultuous trot.

If a Ramirez misreading a roundtripper sounds familiar, that’s because it is. As a 21-year-old rookie with Cleveland, Manny famously broke into a home run trot on his first big league hit, only to find out it was a ground-rule double.

And not only was Lucas’ big fly a long, strange trip, it also was the first in a string of three straight moonshots by the Angels affiliate. After Ramirez's wallop, shortstop Kendrey Maduro sent a laser off the scoreboard and designated hitter Jonny McGill followed with a jack to straightaway center.

Only one of them had a particularly memorable trot, though. But hey, that’s just Lucas being Lucas.
