George Springer hits a three-run home run in the top of the ninth to seal UConn's 8-2 victory over Rutgers. Springer is one of the country's top baseball prospects. (April 30, 2011; Bainton Field, Piscataway, N.J.)

I went to Detroit in 1999 for two games during the final week of Tiger Stadium. One was against the Cleveland Indians with Manny Ramirez in rightfield. In the fourth inning (i think it was the fourth, I'm not 100% sure), Manny loafed after a foul ball that should have been easily catchable, but instead landed foul and bounced into the stands (inches from my outstretched hand). An inning later, Mike Hargrove pulled Manny out of the game.

I was never a Manny fan to begin with. I never could hold with the whole "Manny being Manny" thing, I prefer players who go out there and play the game right. This whole bizarre Manny episode has left another black mark on the game.
