MANNY BEING MANNY (Part 307) -- by Steve Nadis
Has there ever been a player like Manny Ramirez? In yesterday's game in Baltimore, he caught a ball at the left field fence, gave a high five to a fan wearing Red Sox regalia (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAY!), and then hurled the ball to first where he doubled up a runner. That shows, as much as anything else, that this extraordinarily talented player, who makes a ton of money, is in it for more than just money. He plays for fun, and, if you ask me, that's what we need more of in professional sports.
