Pred-Locks


So, I've been watching my boy Manny Ramirez as of late, and besides yelling at him to hit the ball, I was giving some thought to his outrageous dreadlocks. Though he's well known for his hitting ability and work ethic, as well as his lackadaisical outfield defense, this guy has first-hand brought back the dreadlock.

His influence goes far and wide. It's true that "Manny" is good at "being Manny," but now we may want to reconsider just what exactly "being Manny" means. Evidently, "being Manny" translates into "sportin some killer dreadlocks."

Or, as I like to call them, pred-locks. Let's face it, while Manny may get credit for the resurgence of the lowly dreadlock, Predator really kicked this style into high gear. It started in mid 1987, with our friend Predator filling the screens as a nefarious time-traveling alien. Little did we know that this angry creature would inspire generations of athletes to come.
