Manny Ramirez, the former Boston Red Sox star, delighted Aguilas Cibaenas fans with his debut with the team in Santiago last night, Wednesday 14 November. Around 20,000 fans watched Ramirez play. He had not donned the Aguilas uniform since 1994, when the MLB rejected his bid to play local ball.
Unfortunately, Ramirez was not able to make a difference that evening, and his team lost 3-2 to the Leones del Escogido at the Cibao Stadium.
