Read: Manny's hometown reacts

Ian Begley and Nathaniel Vinton from the New York Daily News wrote a nice read on how Manny Ramirez's hometown of Washington Heights, New York has handled their heros 50-game suspension for violating MLB's drug policy.

I think fans sometimes forget these professional athletes actually had childhoods and lives before reaching stardom, and it's refreshing to see someone talk to people who knew Manny way back when to get their reaction to what happened.
