So, I was thinking, new team, new coach and maybe a new manny, but, I was wrong. Anyone know why Manny STILL pine tars up the logo on his hard helmets?

Like this:





So, whats the deal with it? It it the same kind of crap David Ortiz pulls when spitting on the gloves?

I think enforcer may be right Mike. Jorge Posada of the Yankees and Vlad Guerrero of the Angels are a couple more that come to mind that have "pine tar helmet" also.
