Manny gets arrested for hitting his wife........again
It could be worse if he lived in Jersey if the police suspect domestic violence they have the right to arrest you and a restraining order is easy to get just go to court make a claim and bam you got it, then it's up to plaintiff to prove it.My ex did that to me to keep me from getting custody of daughter, I got lucky sh*t was thrown out and two week's later she got arrested with drug dealing boyfriend.Guess that crime stopper's hotline really work's.
Not once did I excuse his behavior. Just mentioning how this scenario is not surprising among recently retired athletes.
Off the top of my head Glen Rice was caught up in a similar situation, and the great John Elway was divorced not too long after he retired.
These types of couples sometimes have problems getting along after retirement because they are spending more time together and realize maybe they don't like each other all that much now that they're together more.
And despite whatever money Ramirez is bringing in after retirement, that is beside the point. The point is some of these guys wind up spending more time at home with not much to do. No more road trips with the team, no more cavorting with hoochies at clubs, no more fawning groupies and fanboys-that lifestyle is now OVER.
How many cats accustomed to this lifestyle can make the transition to domestic bliss without residual fallout? Some do, others have issues. Add to that the manner in which Ramirez left the game one cannot be surprised by his behavior.
Yep that's it. Bx, you see things a different way but what bigwhiskey says go on is the ritual. Now Manny gotta show up in Broward County court to face a possible 1 year in jail from what amounts to one side of a discussion? And since there is no win for him in the court of public opinion and the bitch ass prosecutors can sit on this until the day of trial and get a plea with some bullsh!t fine and probation.
"He must have did it because women wouldnt lie about something like that." If that bitch dont look like Mitch Green after meeting Mike Tyson then it didnt happen.
Hes not a bad guy and I cant defend him hitting his wife but Shyte happens in every relationship and have we ever heard of the term innocent to proven guilty.?
You can say what you want about the man but I know him and his family including his wifes side of family. He is a good man with a good heart and thats it. Dont know if this happened as reported but everyone in the USA should be considered innocent until proven otherwise unless you are personally privy to certain information in the case.
Manny Ramirez denied winter ball bid, seeks reinstatement
Major League Baseball has rejected Manny Ramirez's bid to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, said Ramirez can't play because he's on the inactive list, according to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
Ramirez abruptly retired in April after violating Major League Baseball's drug policy for the second time, meaning he is facing a 100-game suspension.
"Manny Ramirez cannot play for a major or minor league club or any affiliated organization, including a winter league team, without getting the consent of the commissioner,'' Manfred said, according to Crasnick.
After learning of MLB's ruling, Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com's Enrique Rojas he plans to formally request reinstatement to the major leagues.
"I would comply with my pending sanction and I would be available for any major league team," Ramirez told Rojas via telephone from Miami. "I already informed (agent) Scott Boras of my decision to return and begin the process.
"If any team wants to sign me, I would play. If no one does, I would look to play in Japan or any other place. I was not prepared for retirement."
Ramirez, 39, had hoped to play for the Aguilas Cibaenas, his former Dominican League team. The outfielder hit 555 homers and had a .312 average during a 19-year big-league career. He was 17 at-bats into his stint as a DH with the Rays when he retired.

Manny Ramirez seeks reinstatement
ESPN.com news services
Manny Ramirez, upon learning he will not be able to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic because he's on MLB's inactive list, told ESPNdeportes.com Thursday that he will formally request reinstatement.
Ramirez said that upon reentry, he would serve his 100-game suspension for a second violation of MLB's drug policy.
"I would comply with my pending sanction and I would be available for any major league team," Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com's Enrique Rojas via telephone from Miami. "I already informed (agent) Scott Boras of my decision to return and begin the process.
"If any team wants to sign me, I would play. If no one does, I would look to play in Japan or any other place. I was not prepared for retirement."
Ramirez cannot serve his suspension until he signs with a major league club.
Ramirez, who retired in April from the Tampa Bay Rays rather than serve the 100-game ban, told his former Dominican Republic winter league team, the Cibao Eagles, that he wanted play again in the league.
Ramirez, who was born in the Dominican capital city of Santo Domingo and grew up in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood, last played in the Dominican winter league during the 1993-94 season with the Eagles.
Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, confirmed Thursday that Ramirez would not be able to play in the Dominican because he's on the inactive list and must first receive permission from commissioner Bud Selig's office.
"Manny Ramirez cannot play for a major or minor league club or any affiliated organization, including a winter league team, without getting the consent of the commissioner,'' Manfred said.
Ramirez, a 12-time All-Star, previously served a 50-game ban in 2009 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Second-time offenders get double that penalty.
"I'm really interested and enthusiastic about playing baseball [in the Dominican Republic], but I can't control the future,'' Ramirez said via phone Wednesday, adding that he's been training in a batting cage in Miami. "Let's just wait and see what's the outcome of that meeting; it would be really sad if I'm not allowed to play.''
Ramirez retired from the majors with 555 home runs, 1,831 RBIs and a .312 career batting average. But his multiple performance-enhancing drug offenses have cast a major cloud over his Hall of Fame aspirations.
He also is facing criminal prosecution in Florida on charges that he slapped his wife during a recent argument. He told investigators only that he grabbed his wife by the shoulders during an argument and "shrugged" her, causing her to hit her head on the headboard of their bed.
