After a great career, Manny Ramirez, who was Tampa Bay's designated hitter, retired on a sad note. He called it quits last week, to avoid going through an impending Major League Baseball drug treatment program. He was facing a 100-game suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. In May 2009, he was suspended for 50 games.
The suspension put a large negative on his career, mainly known for Manny just simply being Manny - that is, the fun-loving goofball who had great power at the plate. Ramirez was MVP for the Boston Red Sox (that also included Dominicans Pedro Martinez and David Ortiz) when they won their so many times sought World Series in 2004.
Ramirez ended his career with a .312 AVG, .411 OPB as well as .585 SLG.
