Manny Ramirez Serves as Angel Berroa’s Translator in Post Game Interview
Angel Berroa homered on Wednesday night, his first since ‘06. Even though he’s mostly a Spanish speaker, he was interviewed on FSN after the Dodgers’ win. One caveat however: he had Manny Ramirez — the two instantly became friends when Manny arrived in LA — translate the interview for him. As you could imagine, pure hilarity ensued.
