From ProJo "Manny Ramirez shoved Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground in an argument over Ramirez' ticket allotment. Several onlookers moved quickly to separate the two.
Ramirez had asked McCormick for 16 tickets for Saturday night's Red Sox-Astros game, an unusually high number for day-of-game. In addition to handling all travel details for clubs, traveling secretaries also take player ticket requests for both home and away games.
When McCormick cautioned Ramirez that he might not be able to fulfill his request, Ramirez responded by shouting: "Just do your job!"
People are going to make this a huge deal because less then a week ago Shawn Chacon choked his GM and got released. All Manny had to do is just had to apologize behind closed doors. Trust me, I understand where people would be coming from if they wanted a harsher punishment but the truth is, that is the difference between an All-Star caliber player and a mediocre pitcher. I will not look too much into this due to "Manny being Manny."
