LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Fox Sports en
Espanol and Time Warner Cable recently crowned the winners of the second-annual
Manny Ramirez Look-alike contest at the Viva Los Dodgers celebration, which
took place before a recent game against the San Diego Padres.
Fans were invited to enter the contest, attend the game dressed as Ramirez
and appear before a panel of judges.
The grand prize winner, Jose Jesus Velasquez, received an opportunity to
take a photo with Manny Ramirez on-field during batting practice, four Baseline
Box Club-level tickets, one parking pass for the Dodgers game on October 4th
against the Colorado Rockies, a Dodgers jersey, Dodgers poster, and bobble head
doll of Ramirez. The runner-up received a Dodgers jersey, four Loge-level
tickets, and one parking pass for an upcoming game.
"This contest provides a fun and interactive way to engage avid
sports fans, and honor one of baseball's most exciting players with highest
form of flattery: imitation," said David Sternberg, General Manager of Fox
Sports en Espanol.
The Viva Los Dodgers community festival included live music from
Ranchera singer Paquita La Del Barrio, Latin pop singer-songwriter Luz Rios,
and Mariachi Juvenil Mi Mexico de Francisco Rubio. Viva Los Dodgers also
