From the new book by Seth Mnookin called Feeding the Monster, comes this little nugget:
stat analyst Bill James did a study in the 2003 season in which Rami rez was cited for half of the 60 instances in which Sox players did not hustle, and this spring, after the Sox did not trade him yet again after he’d asked to be dealt, Rami rez directed a rant at the owners in which he referred to them as “[expletive] white devils.
Man, that’s just Manny being Manny racist. (Story via Drunken Bleachers Blog)
