Manny Ramirez, while "Being Manny," Breaks Fan's Hand




In case you haven't seen it, click here to see the gruesome footage of Manny Ramirez attacking a poor, defenseless fan.

In what has become a repeated occurence, Manny Ramirez has shown blatant disregard for human life.  The worst is his defense, saying he was just "being Manny."  This is no excuse for his actions.  First it was his tendency to throw his helmet off while running the bases (an obvious tripping hazard), but then at least he was leaving the fans out of it.  This poor fan (who will remain nameless to protect his safety) first drew the attention of Maniacal Manny with his Red Sox shirt.  He thought he was safe behind the 7-foot wall in left field, but unfortunately the man-beast Ramirez was able to scale the wall in his attempt to destroy the innocent bystander. 

According to the preliminary hospital reports, the fan is expected to make a full recovery.  Our prayers go out to him and his family.
