Manny being... a ballplayer

Took the opportunity to photograph Manny Ramirez last night as he works his way back into the majors. It has been a long time since I have seen him play in person, but one thing that came through loud and clear last night... Manny loves to play baseball. In my book, as a ballplayer, you can overcome a lot of stupid mistakes if you love and respect the game. He was clearly the oldest guy on both teams, yet he played with joy and fun. It was very fun and refreshing to watch. Not at all what I expected. Here are a couple of images I took.
