Manny is probably the best hitter ever with guys in scoring position, especially in close games that mean something. I watched him enough in Boston to know hes the 2nd best player in the game today (behind Albert Pujols) but also one of the most selfish whos ever played. He knew he was coming out and so did Torre, but theres no reason to act like that, especially in someone elses ballpark. Torre is a great coach but he doesnt treat Manny like the other players. I guess when you are that good, you have different sets of rules and different conduct expectations. But Albert Pujols apparently missed the memo that went out.
