A lot of kids look up to Manny and want to be just like him. Here's a guy that was blessed w/ an incredible talent and is making an un-godly amount of money and he can't show up for work on an "Off" day because his team needs him. What kind of message does that send?
There isn't a guy on this board who probably hasn't been called in at the last minute to do something for their company and had to work on the weekend or on a holiday. But that seems to be something Manny is exempt from. And I'm pretty sure that a lot of guys don't get 5 MONTHS of vacation a year either.
I think Baseball needs more Cal Ripkens and Tony Gwynns instead of a bunch Of Manny's and Pedros's (nothing racial there, I'm talking attitude).
