Everything Old is New Again...Or Something Like That

Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez are teaming up again.
This time with the Tampa Bay Rays.
They each just signed a one year deal with the Rays.

So as the saying goes: Everything Old is New Again.
Err, in this case it's more accurate to say: Everything New is Old

Don't get me wrong. This is a GREAT move by the Rays....except it's 2011 not 2004.
These guys are OLD...just look at the photo below.
That's them playing for the Boston Red Sox!

Manny & Damon celebrate Manny's first home-run with the Red Sox

Seriously though, I think the Rays will be ok...so long as other teams don't hit the ball to the outfield...and no one expects Manny to field a ball...and no one expects Damon to reach the infield with any of his throws.

Set the right expectations Tampa fans and yeah...all will be fine.


For the record: Photo above is actually the great Reggie Smith who played for several MLB teams from the late 60's through the early 80's.


Respect the Billycock Foo!
