Dominican Dandies
They're both playing baseball in the state of Florida, but David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are in decidedly different situations. Big Papi is playing for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, which beat up on Venezuela today behind two big circuit clouts from the big feller. Manny, trying to catch up to the rest of his teammates, went 2-for-2 today with three RBIs against the Cowboy Up Baltimore Orioles. Talk about not missing a beat. Manny's first hit of the spring, in his first official at-bat, was a scorching line drive that left many of his admiring teammates laughing. Or maybe they were admiring his George Clintonesque locks. And Papi comes up big with two smashes. Warms the heart, I tell ya.
