By: Holly   
Friday, 01 August 2008

ESPN the Magazine recently published a story revealing that (gasp!), athlete blogs aren't always written by the actual athletes. Well, that got us thinking...what if some of our favorite sports personalities actually did write their own blogs? Playing the Field found out for you. We bring you When Athletes Blog. Your blogger today: Manny Ramirez.

LizzyDear Manny, Let me preface this by saying that watching you play (and act like a total 'tard) has been the highlight of Red Sox baseball for me over the last seven years.

What makes these sports so soap-opera-like entertaining to those of us willing to dedicate day after day to watching, cheering, and banging our heads? Who and what behind it makes us all tick?

Dear Blogary,
