Manny Beats up Old Men
Here's a little more on the Manny Ramirez altercation with traveling secretary Jack McCormick. This is the part that got me (emphasis added):
Ramirez and McCormick later met behind closed doors and Ramirez apologized to McCormick, who also spoke with GM Theo Epstein about the incident. "There's no animosity on my part,'' said McCormick, who is in his early 60s. "I hope there's not on his. I think he feels the same way.
It's one thing to fight with someone like Youkilis, another professional athlete. But pushing old men around? Please. I hope the Red Sox quietly fined Manny for this.
Make that "age-challenged." Maybe Manny got "traveling secretary" and "player rep" mixed up, and thought he was going off on Youkilis again.
Boston Dirt Dogs show the, er, combatants face-to-face. McCormick doesn't look that old.
