The Cleveland Franchise welcomes another legend to their Hall Of Fame on Saturday evening. Manny Ramirez spent the first eight years of his career in Cleveland with the Indians and was a well-beloved member of the legendary 90s teams.

Ramirez played for the Indians for eight seasons. In the time he slashed .313/.407/.592, hit 236 home runs, and a staggering 1086 hits. Manny's OPS .998 still stands as a franchise record and it'll be hard to ever break. He represented the city four times as an All-Star four times and even received MVP votes in five different seasons.

He's truly one of the game's greats and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Ramirez talked about what it means to be honored by the organization where he started his Big League career before the ceremony on Saturday.

Here is his full press conference:
