Manny retires!

Coach Deg · 04-08-2011, 03:33 PM

Rumors are he got caught doing roids again and has retired!

kelmac07 · 04-08-2011, 03:38 PM

WOW...if true!!

jesseboston81 · 04-08-2011, 03:39 PM

Just heard this during the Sox game. The announcers don't have much info, but apparently he was contacted by MLB about another potential violation of the drug policy, and he chose to retire rather than go through everything again. This is rather unfortunate since he was going to be back in Boston early next week!

The guy was a first class POS, he would not give the Jimmy Fund kids the time of day at spring training,all other players would seek out the kids just to brighten their day.

He still owes his high school team the new uniforms and equipment he promised them when he signed and got his signing bonus out of high school.
