Just Manny Being... Jaywalk-y?

Manny Ramirez was given a talking-to this weekend for jaywalking against the direction of a traffic cop. This was in Seattle, where they actually obey traffic laws (novel, we know), and may not understand that Bostonians will walk (and drive) wherever we want, whenever we want. Manny got off with just a warning, but the Sox might want to watch themselves in other, more law-abiding cities in the future.

I'm a transplant to Seattle after growing up in Boston. On my first day here I got a jaywalking lecture from a cop. Honestly, I barely even knew what jaywalking was. Eventually I began to notice that people here wouldn't cross against the light, even in a rainstorm at 2 in the morning.

I still jaywalk more than your average Seattlite, and I notice I have a lot more company these days.
