Manny Ramirez Retires

Tampa Bay Rays DH Manny Ramirez has retired.  He recently failed a drug test and would have faced a 100 game suspension if he remained in the MLB.  He just served a 50 game suspension as well.  Manny had a great career, but his career has deteriorated due to his steroid use.  Not many people have much respect for players that cheat.

I think Manny Ramirez will be remembered as a cheater.  He did have a great career, but even after testing positive for steroids, he continued cheating.  His reputation and career are ruined.  Baseball has done a good job decreasing steroid use by giving players hefty fines and suspensions.  Ramirez will never make it into the Hall of Fame because of his steroid use.
