When dad loves his work
Posted by Douglas Eisenhartat 11:21 AM

What is the best way to groom somebody for a certain career? Start them off young? Make them an apprentice, in the original, pre-Trump meaning of the word, to dad's work?

Have some fun taking a peak at Manny Ramirez, Jr.'s bedrooom, then ask yourself what else could this kid be thinking about but baseball?!

And why not? After his heroics last night in Chicago against the vaunted we've-got-the-best-record-in-baseball White Sox, Manny continues to be the man.

And for at least one lucky little boy, he's not just the man, he's "papi." And papi loves his work.
