The Can-Am Worcester Tornadoes have offered Manny Ramirez a contract for two years at $24,000. With Worcester as my birth city and a city I still frequent multiple times a week, it would be great if he signed.

The Tornadoes have had former Red Sox prospects play for the team such as Greg Montalbano and Ed Reilly, who pitched the first ever Tornadoes game and then retired immediately after the game. Former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman has been the manager since inception. Johnny Pesky and Roger Clemens were among those that attended Tornado games in 2008. I attended the first game for the Tornadoes; you can read about it here (sadly, the pictures no longer work).
