Lucas Ramirez hits a leadoff homer for Brazil in the World Baseball Classic, with his father, Manny Ramirez, watching proudly. The 20-year-old connects on Logan Webb’s second pitch, reducing the U.S. lead to 2-1 after Aaron Judge's two-run blast. Manny, a 12-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, expresses his pride in Lucas’s hard work. "I was looking forward for him to do something special," Manny states. Lucas, a 17th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels, previously played in Class A and has already impressed with his performance in the WBC qualifiers. Wearing his father's iconic No. 24, Lucas's big hit against one of the tournament's top teams adds extra significance. Manny believes this moment will energize his son for the upcoming season. "I hope he’s going to do good," he adds.
