Manny Ramirez, former Boston Red Sox left fielder and one third of a season Los Angeles Dodger Outfielder remains unsigned with but two weeks until the opening of Baseball spring training. The pendulum may have swung in favor of baseball owners vis a vi the economy. Manny Ramirez has never been very easy to deal with. He may have some exceptional baseball skills but he also has an unlikeable disposition. The Boston Red Sox had had their fill of Manny Ramirez's antics and who can blame them. Ramirez will turn 37 years old in a few months and his best baseball days are behind him. Manny Ramirez has just turned down a one year contract offer from the Los Angeles Dogers for $25 million dollars. Hey, I would take that deal right now. Ramirez turned it down cold.............. Maybe there will be a paradigm shift in Major league sports. Players in any pro sport should thank their lucky stars that they have the skills and abilities to perform that sport. I think most people have had quite enough of Manny Raimerz. I will not miss him in 2009.
