MLB Now

The baseball season has just started, but there is controversy even this early on. The Red Sox got their first win of the season against the Yankees at Fenway, after their 0-6 start. The Orioles have had one of their best starts in years. The Reds shot out of the gate and are still rolling. The Phillies closer, Brad Lidge, is expected to be out until the All-Star Break. The biggest news is that Manny Ramirez retired. After testing positive for steroids this spring training, he decided to put an end on his career. He has won two World Series and was the series MVP for one of them. He also holds the record for most Playoff home runs. He is tied for 14th on the home run list. His great career will come to an end. This looks to be a great baseball season.
