More issues with Manny

George Brett and Mike Schmidt, Hall of Fame third basemen from the Royals and Phillies, respectively, weren't shy about voicing their issues with the Dodgers' Manny Ramirez on Friday afternoon at The Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth. Among their beefs, which isn't just with Ramirez, was the size of the slugger's jersey. But the way many players wear their uniforms these days is irksome to both men.
"The way they wear their uniforms today is a joke," Brett said. "I'm so disappointing in Major League Baseball for allowing them to do that.
"You look at these guys and their pants go over their shoes, if you're a size 34 waist, they wear a size 38 pants, and baggy and just ridiculous."
Schmidt has less of an issue with today's baggy uniforms.
"I don't mind the baggy part of it. It's their generation, their right to set the style they want to have," he said. "To some degree, we did, with the stirrups and the high socks. That was the uniform of the generation."
Ramirez's jersey, however, goes too far, according to Schmidt.
"Manny's size 50 jersey, sloppy and hanging off of him, should be illegal," he said. "If the ball hits it when he's batting, it's a hit by pitch. He's got this big tent hanging on him, and if the ball hits it, he goes to first base."
