In an effort to make himself more marketable to teams, Manny Ramirez is carrying out a charm offensive that is almost too funny to be true. Claiming that he wants to be a role model, he stated to ESPN:"I want to show people that Manny can change, that he can do the right thing."
Among the more bizarre revelations in the ESPN report is Manny's aquatic training—along with octogenarians in a local pool (see pic). Whether this massive PR effort will persuade any team to take a chance on 'Manny Being Productive' (along with a 50-game suspension) remains to be seen. (Photo: ESPN Screenshot)
