JEFF MANTO Inducted July 19, 2002 Although he didn't play a full season with the Red Wings, this infielder's actions on and off the field made him one of the most popular Red Wings of the modern era. After joining the team in May of 1994, he enjoyed one of the most prolific offensive seasons ever by a Red Wing. He led the league in homers (31) and RBI (100) while hitting .297 en route to capturing International League MVP honors. The slugger endeared himself even more to fans by driving through a blizzard to appear at the "Stadiumstock" rally in February of 1995 in support of the construction of Frontier Field. To date, he is the only player ever to receive a stadium ovation at Frontier Field after hitting a home run for visiting team, as he did for Syracuse in 1997. Coming soon. |
