Letter to Manny Ramirez
May 8, 2009 in Uncategorized
Dear Manny Ramirez,
Baseball is having a rough time. Between Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Jose Canseco, MLB cannot seem to finds its way out of the drug scandal light.
Now there are reports that you have been suspended for 50 games because of an “unnatural testosterone” as well the female fertility drug hCG.
I know that you went to the doctor for a “personal health issue” and thought it was OK to take whatever he gave you, but here is my question to you:
Why would you not go to the team doctor? Is that “Personal Problem” really too personal for your teammates, your brothers, to hear or know about?
Also, Mr. Ramirez, If I went to see my doctor, and he gave me a FEMALE fertility drug, I would throw up some red flags and I am not a professional athlete.
You are 36 and one of the most feared players in baseball. And now you will be watching your team for the next 50 games.
So in conclusion, Mr. Ramirez, whether or not it was a mistake to take those pills or not, I personally think you could have gone about this whole incident in a little bit more of a professional manner. After all, you are a professional.
Signed,
Still a Fan
