OK. This crazy dude is called "Rental Man." He goes to just about every Southland sporting event, usually in costume, to dance. He bugs me, but some folks find him hilarious.

Manny's Doctor Under Investigation

Manny's doctor, Pedro Publio Bosch, who prescribed the fertility medication is currently under DEA investigation. From ESPN:

"We're aware of the investigation and our department of investigations is cooperating with the DEA," MLB president Bob DuPuy said Thursday afternoon. He declined to answer any other questions.

Investigators believe the prescription for human chorionic gonadotropin, known as hCG, was written by Pedro Publio Bosch, 71, a physician who has practiced family medicine in Florida since 1976. His son, Anthony Bosch, 45, is believed to have worked as a contact between his father and Ramirez. It's unclear how far along the DEA is in its inquiry but sources indicated that investigators want to know whether either man ever procured improper or illegal prescriptions for other people. DEA officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Who says autograph hounds are worse today? Look at George Brett being surrounded by a sea of balls. I don't recognize the fellow below, but he too is surrounded. (I think he may be Satchel Paige? If anyone has a better guess please let em know)
