Manny Caught Jaywalking

manny high fives a fanFrom The Globe… Seems that Boston slugger Manny Ramirez was leaving the ballpark, with headphones on trying to look inconspicuous and quickly get away from the crowds still leaving the stadium. He started to cross South Royal Brougham Way, against the signals of a traffic cop who was directing pedestrians. The police officer demanded that Ramirez open his wallet and show identification. He warned him that he could face a $500 fine and possible arrest for disobeying a police officer.

It became clear to those watching that the policeman had no idea who Ramirez was. He didn’t ask for an autograph or anything, but did ask Ramirez if he’d attended the game. After the brief lecture, and no argument from Ramirez, the police officer let him go with no further trouble.

By the goat… Alright, what the hell is going on here, he asked Manny if he had attended the game? Someone should fine the cop working detail at a Mariners game for not knowing who the Dominican dude with the dreadlocks is. I am one incident away from posting a leave britney alone style video on youtube about Manny.

Too bad Manny doesn’t play for the Patriots. Nick Kaczur had the charges against him for illegally possessing 202 OxyContin pills dismissed today after paying $355. Let’s recap, Manny threatened with a $500 fine for walking across a street, Kaczur fined $355 for two hundred and two pills of OxyContin.

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy for Nick, but it just helps to put Mannys “crimes” into perspective sometimes. The only thing Manny is guilty of is being the coolest manchild on earth. The Red Sox and The Globe better not be in cahoots again to start a smear campaign against Manny (a-la Nomar). If they run him out of town, mark my words, I will buy a VW bus, grow my own white guy dreads and follow him wherever he goes. It’ll be Manny Tour and I’ll fund it by selling grilled cheese sandwiches in ballpark parking lots.

Sidenote: Jon Lester For President!
