The former Cleveland center fielder returns for his 34th season as color commentator for Guardians baseball telecasts on Bally Sports Great Lakes and on WKYC- TV. Rick's tenure with the club began in 1990 and his 33-year tenure is the second-longest in franchise history (alongside Tom Hamilton).

"Arch", 68, began his professional baseball career with the Cleveland Indians as the first-round selection (2nd overall) in the 1972 June draft out of LaSalle High School in Niagara Falls, NY. The first 8 1/2 years of his 13-year Major League career were spent in Cleveland (1975-1983), where he won a Gold Glove in 1976 for his fielding prowess. Manning was also selected as the BBWAA “Good Guy” award winner for the 1980 season and caught the final out in Len Barker's 1981 perfect game. He later played with the Milwaukee Brewers from 1983-87 before ending his 13-year career with a career batting mark of .257 (1349-5248) in 1555 games.
