Manny Ramirez's tumultuous road towards image recovery and redemption took a downturn yesterday as he was ejected in bottom of the fifth inning in the LA Dodgers' game against the New York Mets.
Ramirez's seemed apathetic about his ejection, saying after the game, "I didn't want to throw even more fire. I just walked away. I only play five innings, so I was leaving anyway." Ramirez had driven in three runs, going 2-4 in four at bat. But it was a disputed strike three called by umpire John Hirschbeck, on a full count and the bases loaded, which lit Ramirez up.
Ramirez began walking towards first thinking it was Ball 4, but Hirschbeck disagreed and called the strike.
Ramirez threw down his bat, gloves and elbow pad. He was halfway through the infield when Hirschbeck inspected what Ramirez had thrown and ordered him out of the game.
