Jean Rhodes, the co-author of Manny Ramirez's recent biography, doesn't believe that the slugger is the type of guy that would take performance-enhancing drugs. "I'm not trying to apologize or make excuses for Manny," said Rhodes. "But it doesn't fit." Rhodes co-authored "Becoming Manny: Inside the Life of Baseball's Most Enigmatic Slugger." "Manny hit .600 in high school!" she said. "His power, I've always believed, came more from his form, his swing, than his muscle," Rhodes said.
