My friend Tom sent this email earlier today, sharing his thoughts on yesterday's retirement of Manny Ramirez:
Manny had one of the sweetest swings in baseball, I will miss watching it ...
However, as the news comes, I realize why I can't sell my kids on America's Pastime ... I wanted so much for them to play, enjoy and respect the game, as we once did, but they lost interest and honestly, I believe it has everything to do with what happened in the 1990s and early 2000s with the players' complete disrespect for the fans ...
The players lost sight, and my kids now skateboard ...Tony Hawk is more of a hero ...which is all good by me ...
Can't blame them...
All this as Bonds waits on a verdict ...
