It can't be the first documented case of "Manny being Manny" this year – but it's close. The Herald's 'Track Ladies were all over the Red Sox slugger this morning for what they're filing as a hair don't. Last year Manny strutted out for training with dreads that had obviously grown since the fall, dreads which he'd gotten the ends of colored during the off season. He got flack then, though little did we know he'd out do himself with the do this year. It's not so much the long dreads that are out of control they took issue with it's whatever type of garment he's using to keep it in control. The Herald got George Amaral's, of Salon Mario Russo, take on Manny's look at spring training this year "Amaral said he does give No. 24 thumbs up for 'actually wearing a Red Sock' on his head. 'But I like Manny with short hair,' he said. 'Short dreds with a little color actually look best on him.'” The hair won't likely change the way that Manny addresses the ball – but if he keeps it as is there will likely be more pictures like the one shown here where his batting helmet is hanging on for dear life to the mass of dreads in a red sock.
