In my opinion, Manny Ramirez's return to baseball is a good thing at least for the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, I still classify him as a cheater and anything he has done up until now should not count. If from now on in he stays clean, all his stats from now until the end of his career should count towards the hall of fame.

Manny does have other obstacles to over come to become a hall of famer. For one, MANNY BEING MANNY has to change. No one can forget all of his antics in Cleveland and Boston.

Manny Ramirez will make return to Dodgers today

Detroit News wire services

Manny Ramirez will be back in the big leagues tonight after a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy.

Thousands of Dodgers fans are expected to be at Petco Park to support Ramirez in the opener of a series against the Padres.

Ramirez largely avoided reporters during his minor league rehab assignment. It's uncertain whether he'll formally address the media today.
