OK, forget about what we just told you regarding a Red Sox news 'deadspot'. Are you ready?
Manny Ramirez—yes, that 44-year old guy who used to wear Carmine Hose—is negotiating a deal to play for the Kochi Fighting Dogs. The 'Dogs' are a team in the independent
Shikoku Island League. Another former major leaguer who
also played in this relatively obscure league was
Julio Franco—who, by the way, is a spry 58-years-old as we write this. This is not Manny's first foray into Asian baseball—he suited up for the
EDA Rhinos in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (Taiwan) in 2013. Hopefully, there is a convenient rest room area out in left field at the
Fighting Dog stadium.
