@CavsSimmy Manny Ramirez signs with the Sydney Blue Sox.
The eight-team Australian Baseball League plays a 24-game season in December and January each year. It is an alternative to winter leagues in the Caribbean and features local players, minor leaguers affiliated with MLB teams, and players from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
I'm not even going to lie to you.. I had no idea we even had a "professional" baseball league in Australia!
Might have to get around it!
I'd road trip for a chance to see Manny again, though not quite THAT much of a road trip. A fascinating player, he was truly deserving of the term "Idiot Savant". At the plate, pure fearsome genius. Kind of a clown in every other aspect... of life.
(I certainly hope he plays the outfield.)
Road trip down under would be worth the flight, but plan on staying as long as they will allow. A month might do it.. spend one week in New Zealand, visit New Guinea once, and spend a week in Perth on the beach.. You might never come back...I'd road trip for a chance to see Manny again, though not quite THAT much of a road trip. A fascinating player, he was truly deserving of the term "Idiot Savant".

At least Hamelin out statted Manny....Kenny Lofton had a 50% WAR advantage on Pat ListachI still can't believe Bob Hamelin won Rookie of the Year over Manny.
What a joke.
Bigger even than Mo Vaughn over Albert Belle for MVP.
I keep score at home, and that is what I have written on my card, too.In case anyone was wondering, Aroldis Chapman is still a total scumbag.
Manny is all about the vegemite!I hope he sticks around a bit down under. I'd be willing to make that my summer vacation next year.

And no support. He should feel right at home.Pretty meh Padres debut for Clevinger.
Six innings, seven hits, one walk, two strikeouts, two earned runs.
that should make him feel at home too - tho he used to be sitting in the dugout watching --- btw, one of then guys who replaced him looked like a mirror image of ClevAnd no support. He should feel right at home.
His start probably wasn't as good as it looks. Three Angels were thrown out running the bases.
