Manny Ramirez, returning to Fenway Park on Wednesday for the first time since 2010 when he was with the Chicago White Sox, sought out Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick and apologized for the 2008 incident in Houston in which he flung the much older McCormick to the clubhouse floor in a dispute over tickets for that night’s game.
“I went and spoke to Jack,” Ramirez said. “I apologized to Jack. I told him, ‘Jack, I want you to forgive me because it was my fault. I behaved bad here with everybody. I want you to forgive me.'”
Ramirez said McCormick, who was 64 at the time of the incident, accepted his apology, saying, “‘Manny, thank you, I was waiting for that.'”
McCormick said this was the first time Ramirez had apologized to him in person. At the time, Ramirez issued a public apology, but had never spoken to McCormick about the incident until Wednesday afternoon. from espn.com
