Not giving it their all
The Boston Globe
Manny Ramirez announced at his introductory news conference with the Red Sox in 2001 that he would donate $1 million to area programs for Latino youth. But five years into his eight-year, $160 million relationship with the Sox, Ramirez has failed to deliver. He also has yet to fulfill the pledge he made 19 months ago to launch a charitable foundation to carry out his mission. Ramirez recently donated $10,000 through the Red Sox Foundation to the Hyde Square Task Force.
