The Ramones’ guitarist grew up rooting for the New York Yankees after his father turned him onto the sport. Johnny wrote about his love in his 2012 posthumous autobiography, Commando. “The Yankees were my favorite team, and Mickey Mantle was my idol,” he shared.
“I’ve always loved going to ball games. I remember being at Ebbets Field at a Dodgers game in 1957,” he wrote. “I remember Von McDaniel pitching a two-hit shutout. I’ve even talked to some of the players later on in life, and they knew the game I was talking about.”

Sadly, Johnny Ramone died in 2004, five years after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Joey Ramone succumbed to lymphoma in 2001. Original bassist Dee Dee Ramone died in 2002 due to an overdose, while Tommy Ramone, the band’s original drummer, passed away in 2014, also after a cancer battle.
The Ramones were present, in spirit, at the inaugural CBGB Festival in 2025: Marky Ramone, who replaced Tommy on the drums, performed alongside his fellow legends like Iggy Pop, Johnny Marr, and The Damned.
