Last night, former MLB superstar Manny Ramirez was arrested
on domestic battery charges after allegedly slapping his wife
across the face during an argument in their Florida home.
While Ramirez is innocent until proven guilty, I cannot say this
development surprises me considering how he
assaulted an elderly Boston Red Sox employee shortly before
being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008.
Ramirez signed with the Tampa Bay Rays in the off-season but
abruptly retired in mid-April when he had failed a second drug test
for performance enhancing drugs which would have landed him a
100-game suspension.
UPDATE: A judge has now
barred Ramirez from contacting his wife. It’s not clear at this
point if she will take out an order of protection against him.
