The Athletic

79 may be the only one with an Athletic subscription, but there is a good article about Manny being Manny in Cleveland.  It is written by Zack Meisel.  UEM knows who I mean.

There are a lot of familiar stories that have been often told, but there are enough new ones and insight that it makes it a fun read.

One of my favorites is that apparently my hometown police of Lakewood, Ohio repeatedly called the Indians to have them stop Manny and Omar Vizquel from speeding through their city after games.   It would  stop for a few days, and both of them would speed through town again.

That led to the famous Manny story where he was pulled over for speeding and received a ticket.   He told the officer, "You don't give me a ticket, I can get you tickets."   After the encounter he made an illegal U-turn in front of the officer and received a second ticket.  

I have been meaning to read this.   Glad you think it is as good as I thought it might be.  

I saw several mentions of this on Twitter. It sounded interesting, but I don't pay to read stuff because I'm a child.  So I guess I'm out.

Maybe bjs can dig up the archive.ph link to this, but I enjoyed it. Nice tribute to a college that is shutting down here at the end of the month, and how the Air Raid was born here.

This is a good one.
