 Dont Jaywalk In Seattle

This time you truly cannot blame Manny for doing anything wrong. A cop was just trying to be a douche to good ole’ Manny Ramirez. Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times writes:

Seems that Boston slugger Manny Ramirez was leaving the ballpark, with headphones on trying to look inconspicuous and quickly get away from the crowds still leaving the stadium. He started to cross South Royal Brougham Way, against the signals of a traffic cop who was directing pedestrians. The police officer demanded that Ramirez open his wallet and show identification. He warned him that he could face a $500 fine and possible arrest for disobeying a police officer.

It became clear to those watching that the policeman had no idea who Ramirez was. He didn’t ask for an autograph or anything, but did ask Ramirez if he’d attended the game. After the brief lecture, and no argument from Ramirez, the police officer let him go with no further trouble.

You can’t chalk this one up as Manny being Manny, this was just an officer of the law being a complete ass! The officer is lucky that Manny didn’t throw him down in the middle of the street, or make him get Manny 16 tickets for the tonight’s game. Next time something like this happens to Manny, he’s gonna Schultz somebody to get his point across. Just ask Jack McCormick what happens when you mess with the maniacal one.
