Related: About this forumManny Ramirez is already a big hit in Taiwan
Looks like our old friend Manny Ramirez has found a happy home in Taiwan.
Manny, who signed with the Taiwanese outfit EDA Rhinos earlier this month, made his debut in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan on Wednesday, and he's already the biggest superstar in the Chinese Professional Baseball League... not to be confused with the National League.
And it looks like Mannywood all over again. Eastern style.
According to The China Post, Manny, batting cleanup, went 2-for-6: a pair of singles in the second and fourth innings. The former Red Sox slugger struck out looking in the seventh with Japanese reliever Hiroki Sanada doing Ramirez in.
