Way back on December 2nd, we reported that 44-year-old
Manny Ramirez was likely to play for an independent pro team in Japan (the Kochi Fighting Dogs). Now, apparently,
part of this news has reached the mainstream media
(if you can call TMZ mainstream). They quote Manny's wife Juliana thusly,
"He is training extremely hard. Batting, CrossFit, Orange Theory. He never stops. I told him, 'Go for it!' Baseball is the love of his life other than his family and I totally support him 100% ... 'cause I know how much it means for him." Somebody please tell
Harvey Levin to just read
FenwayNation every day—that way he can get his scoops a lot earlier.
