Manny Ramirez Asks Red Sox If He Can Work From Home

May 3, 2007 | | Onion Sports

BOSTON - Claiming that a relaxed atmosphere and a chance to create his own schedule would greatly benefit his productivity, Red Sox left-fielder Manny Ramirez has asked team officials if he can play the remainder of the season from the comfort of his own home. "My client just can't seem to focus in his current place of work," said Ramirez's agent Greg Genske, noting that Fenway Park's loud, boisterous atmosphere and high-stress, pressure-packed environment are "not ideal working conditions for anyone." "Manny seeks a work space where he doesn't have to constantly travel, can wear whatever he wants, and can work at his own pace. I assure you that he will be able to put up the same statistics he normally does while physically on a baseball diamond. Just give him until November or December." The Red Sox have tentatively agreed to allow Ramirez to telecommute, claiming that although their offense may suffer without him at the ballpark, their defense in a vacant left field may substantially improve.

sushi,

Were you an Indians fan growing up?

Everyone I ever met who moved to Boston became a Red Sox fan.

People here in Ohio have no idea how serious they take the game up there.

Yep. I was an Indians fan and still am, although I don't follow them as closely as I used to. The Red Sox were always my second favorite team growing up, so it wasn't hard to become a diehard! It's like a disease up here -- it really is insane. Fenway is sold out every night, and if you want to sniff tickets, you usually have to fork out at least $100 per ticket. However, I cannot stress enough -- try to experience Fenway in your lifetime. It's just awesome!

My OSU alum neighbors are now diehards as well. In fact, we're all going to the game tonight!

When I was in Boston last summer, I was there the day Papi hit the game-winning HR in the first game of the double header against the Rangers and people were running down the street high-fiving and hugging each other like they'd just won the series.

A very eye-opening experience.
