Manny Distraught Over Dispute

Outfielder Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox holds a sign during the delay of the Grapefruit League Spring Training game against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 19, 2008 at City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers, Florida. The Red Sox players unanimously voted to not play their last Spring Training game in Florida and not get on the plane to Japan in a dispute over whether coaches and staff are paid a $40,000 stipend for the trip to Japan.
