It’s sad that steroid use gets so much more media attention than someone like Manny Ramirez. He recently hit his 500th homerun and already he’s donating his batting helmet and lineup card from that game.
I also love that he made a deal with the fan who caught the ball from the homer. The fan would keep it overnight to enjoy, and then give it back to Manny the next day. (Let’s hear it for the honorable fan, too!) But Manny doesn’t want the ball back for himself. He wants to auction it off for a charity.
Then again, maybe it’s sad that this kind of behavior makes news at all. Wouldn’t it be great if this was so commonplace among athletes that it wasn’t even worth mentioning?
