Earlier this week, the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for 2017 came out, and a familiar and controversial face made his first appearance on it. Manny Ramirez is eligible for the first time.
The former Red Sox slugger was an icon in Boston during the 2004 and 2007 World Series runs, but despite his Hall of Fame worthy numbers he has an uphill battle when it comes to becoming baseball immortality.
An issue that has run rampant over the last decade and a half when it comes to how worthy players are to be inducted, Manny has had a well known issue with steroids and other performance enhancers.
