Mike Schmidt wants out of Manny's world

In viewing the relatively supportive response to the return of steroid cheat Manny Ramirez, Mike Schmidt has seen the future, and it doesn’t work for him — at all.

“Accountability, morality, substance, trust, honesty and so on, are all on a steady decline in our country,” the Hall of Fame third baseman said. “And Manny's world, like some other ‘worlds’ we know, is perpetuating it. At this rate, 20 years from now, pro sports are going to be just like pro wrestling -- marketing to the masses who just want to be entertained.”
