Pretend someone was visiting Boston from a foreign nation this weekend and knew nothing about baseball. How could you explain the significance of the return of Manny Ramirez?
It wouldn’t be easy. Manny was loved and hated when he was in Boston, and that status has only gotten more confusing since he left.
So with Manny’s return taking place on Friday night, it’s worth asking which return of a Red Sox player is your favorite?
Manny’s return is a memorable one, but so were those of Pedro Martinez with the Mets and Johnny Damon‘s with the Yankees. Granted, Pedro received a standing ovation while Damon was greeted mostly with boos, but they were memorable nonetheless.
So, which is your favorite? If it’s Manny, text “SOX1” to 542542. If it’s Pedro, text “SOX2” to 542542. If it’s Damon, text “SOX3” to 542542.
