Angry Red Sox Fan Accuses ‘Manny Hater’ Of Being a “Mental Midget.”
This comment on the MLB.com Manny story from today made me laugh:
“Do you get it now you mental midget? I have been a Red Sox fan for 50 years the Manny years were some of the best, most entertaining in that entire time. Only a fool would truly be glad that Manny is off this team. Apparently that term applies to you. You’re not a fan of baseball you’re a loser with nothing else to do but show the hate. Shut up and go away.”

From The Old Man and the Sea:
“But I must have confidence and I must be worthy of the great DiMaggio who does all things perfectly even with the pain of the bone spur in his heel” (68).
“But I think that the great DiMaggio would be proud of me today. I had no bone spurs. but the hands and the back hurt truly” (97).
“Do you believe that the great DiMaggio would stay with a fish as long as I will stay with this one” (68)?
“I would like to take the great DMaggio fishing,” the old man said. “They say his father was a fisherman. Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand” (22).
“I wonder how the great DiMaggio would have liked the way I hit him in the brain” (103-104)?
