''Mannywood'' is no more.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers opened a seven-game homestand Monday night with the San Diego Padres, the ''Mannywood'' sign that adorned the short fence in the left field corner was absent - as was the slugging left fielder, who is on the disabled list for the third time this season.

Ramirez came to the Dodgers at the trade deadline two years ago from the Boston Red Sox, and his arrival caused such a stir that the club designated a section of seats to him and allowed fans to shell out $99 - his number with L.A. - for two tickets and two T-shirts per game.

A club spokesman explained that the sign was gone because the John Hancock Insurance Co. purchased signage in each corner for the final two months of the season.
