Hanley Ramirez is so eager to play baseball that he’s not waiting around for spring training. The Boston Red Sox first baseman is heading home to play for the Licey Tigers in the Dominican Winter League.
Ramirez hinted as recently as David Ortiz‘s Celebrity Golf Classic earlier this month that he wanted to play Winter Ball to help him prepare for the World Baseball Classic. Now we know he’s already on his way.
A photo tweeted by Ramirez showing the veteran infielder packing his bags reveals his intention to join the Tigers for Winter Ball beginning on Monday, December 19.
