In baseball, age isn't just a number. It's the thing that catches up to every player, including the great ones. Sometimes, though, guys manage to defy Father Time for a while at least.
That's the hope of Manny Ramirez, who wants to play this season in the Taiwan League, as MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported on Wednesday. Is it a precursor to an MLB comeback?
The odds are long. Ramirez will turn 48 in May. His last stint in Taiwan came in 2013, and he hasn't played in the big leagues since 2011.
