If this all happens Manny fits the Bill to go up there with Doerr, Cronin, Yaz, Teddy Ballgame, and Pudge Fisk. Much respect to Jackie Robinson, but seriously I am talking about Sox here. Manny will make the hall, he will play more than 1/2 his games as a Sox, and he will Retire a Red Sox. Considering he's been my favourite Red Sox since the day the ink dried on that contract it couldn't make me happier to hear he wants to finish up in Beantown.
That beings said, I was against Mike Lowell getting a 4 year deal, so as to not get Sentimental about Manny as most fans are apt to doing. It would have to be at a significantly reduced rate after 2010. Although it sounds like he has taken car of his money, and will easily be able to take care of his family. So here is a hoping that Theo and Boras can work something out, and for the right Price Manny Ramirez can hang up his spike in Crimson and White.
