Quite Simply…
...One of the dumbest and most ridiculous things I've ever seen written. Manny's a Hall-of-Famer, but I'd be more impressed if he was a .280 singles hitter who ran out every grounder and found better uses for his millions than a fleet of pimped-up cars. The whole column by Kevin Cullen was pretty awful, but … Continue reading Quite Simply…
