Read the Last Line

Without going into all the detail about Manny Ramirez and his "Banned Substance" suspension from baseball, we stumbled across an article, well, more specifically...a quote within an article, that made us laugh out loud.

The article, from a Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel story, that we don't have the link to, was rerun in The Daily Telegraph. Please read it here.

Did you read the last quote? The one from Relief Pitcher Wil Ohman? The one about how good Ramirez looks in his second trimester. That is one of the funniest things we've heard in a long time and it came from one of the funniest people in baseball. Ohman, a left handed relief specialist, kind of gives new meaning to the term relief...as in comic relief. He's travelled around baseball for years and is a great guy to have in a clubhouse. Last season he was in Atlanta with the Braves and we at the OSG were treated to some classic Ohman. He does a great Harry Caray.

If you don't know Ohman...check out his reading of the lineups last season for a Braves game on Fox-TV. ((courtesy: You Tube))
