Manny Ramirez, the superstar outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers who was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball, apologized to his teammates on Friday. Gathered with his teammates and coaches at a hotel conference room in Miami, a reportedly anxious Ramirez went around and shook each of his teammates’ hand and told the group that he was sorry.

Ramirez’s manager Joe Torre said that Ramirez was uneasy prior to the meeting.
Said Torrie: “We spent some time together before we went into the meeting room and he was a little anxious. That’s the human side of this thing. He basically went around, shook everybody’s hand. I think guys were happy to see him. I think there was a little uneasiness on both sides.”
Most teammates who spoke to the media following the event said that they accepted Ramirez’s apology. Prior to his suspension, Ramirez was hitting .348 with six homers and 20 RBI.
