Custom Authentic Jerseys

Manny Ramirez, of the LA Dodgers, four months after turning his back on the Dodgers’ offer of two years at $45 million, he accepts essentially the same offer.

Ramirez’s has his glowing statistics and accomplishments,  but nothing stands out as this: In 16 Major League seasons, he has played on one with a losing record, and his teams (Cleveland and Boston before Los Angeles) have gone a cumulative 368 games over .500.

Manny Ramirez didn’t earn a Dodgers jersey until last year’s Trade Deadline, he was there long enough to make his presence felt. He batted .396 with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs in 229 plate appearances over 53 games, lifting the team to a division title and first-round postseason upset of the team with the best record in the NL, attesting to Ramirez’s potential impact.

He makes it tough on you,” Padres catcher Nick Hundley said. “He is patient enough to wait for a mistake and confident enough to know he’s going to get one. He’s not going to chase a whole lot of pitches. And when he gets that pitch, he’s going to punish it.”
