“Must the Red Sox Always Appeal to the Lowest Common Denominator?”

So writes the Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy, criticizing the team’s choice of Manny Ramirez to throw out the first pitch in a game honoring the 2004 world champion Red Sox.
Let me see if I have this straight: Manny Ramirez hit like Jimmie Foxx for 7½ seasons in Boston, but it turned out he was cheating with PEDs the whole time. His name appeared on the list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003, and later he was twice suspended for failing drug tests. He’s the only big league star who got caught three times….
But hey, I’m a bad guy for suggesting that David Ortiz also used steroids in 2004 (and subsequently)?
