Manny Ramirez is back in the building, and he’s the same old Manny we all know and love.
The former Red Sox star was one of several former Boston players to take part in a pregame ceremony Opening Day at Fenway Park on Tuesday, where he helped celebrate the team’s 2018 World Series championship. After the ceremonies, he opened up a bit about his life after professional baseball.
So just what has Ramirez been up to?
“Right now, I’ve got a family,” he told reporters after the ceremonies. “I’ve got three kids, I’ve got a wife, and that’s the most important thing in my life. And that’s what I enjoy right now.”
But Manny just couldn’t help being himself, noting that fatherhood has not been as easy as he’d anticipated.
“I thought playing the Yankees was tough, but raising boys is something different,” he joked.

This just may be a little taste of Manny being Manny, but Red Sox nation certainly has missed it.
