Manny Ramirez Retires

Tampa Bay Rays' Manny Ramirez walks back to the dugout after grounding to the shortstop during the seventh inning of their MLB American League baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in St. Petersburg, Florida, in this April 1, 2011 file photo. Ramirez, a 12-times All-Star who won two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox, has announced his retirement, Major League Baseball said on April 8, 2011. Ramirez, who was suspended 50 games in 2009 for violating the league's drug policy, was recently informed by Major League Baseball that there was an issue relating to the policy.
Looks like Manny is done being Manny. When news first broke that Manny was retiring I was shocked, but shortly thereafter news broke that he had been notified by the MLB that he tested positive for PEDs again and would have to serve a 100-game suspension. Then it all made sense.

It's sad to see him go out disgrace, but he brought this all on himself. How arrogant do you have to be to think you can get away with taking performance enhancing drugs twice?? And during the Barry Bonds trial no less. I used to like Manny, but now he's a disgrace to the game and will NEVER get into the Hall of Fame. Sad.
