我猜他指的是比賽以外...(恕刪)
原文如是說(來源:http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/author/sslusser/):
I texted Manny Ramirez today to congratulate him on his return to U.S. baseball; the 12-time All-Star, who was with the A’s last spring and then with Sacramento the first half of last year, signed a minor-league deal with Texas today.
To my surprise, instead of texting, he called me and said, “I’m so happy, I’m so happy I’m back – I couldn’t sleep for two days I was so excited.”
Of his experience in Taiwan and his struggles to get back to the majors after two-plus years, Ramirez said, “You have just got to put yourself in the fire to see what you have.”
Ramirez said that his team in Taiwan did not have a home stadium, so every game was a road game (not unusual there, I’m told), and he even had to wash his own uniform. “I certainly learned a lot,” Ramirez said. “I liked it there, the fans, the people there treated me good, but Triple-A is going to be so nice after Taiwan, having to travel every day.”
Ramirez has become very religious since his suspension in 2011 and, he said, “Before I went to Taiwan, I prayed and said to God, ‘If you want me to play, open the door,’ and then that door opened, and now there is this door opening.”
He also talked to the Nationals, he said; he believes Washington had some interest in him as a pinch hitter.
Brandon Moss, who played with Ramirez in Boston and last year with Sacramento, said, “I think it’s great. He’s obviously done some things and he’s paid his price, but he still loves this game. I think Manny has a different perspective on things than he did in the past. He’s always treated me great, I think he’s a good person. And if he can still play, let him play.”
紅字的部分是Susan Slusser轉述曼尼的說法，真的是說要自己洗"球衣(制服uniform)"，不是指一般的衣物。此外Susan Slusser對曼尼說到每場球賽都要移動的部分加了個註解，表示她早已知道此事(not unusual there, I'm told)。從這一段裡看到曼尼最受不了的是每天移動的比賽，從Susan Slusser引述曼尼親口說的"...but Triple-A is going to be so nice after Taiwan, having to travel every day."可以看出來。

Manny speaks: 'You're in Taiwan, and you come to Triple A, this is like the big leagues' (呆過台灣以後再來到3A，這裡就像大聯盟)

Columnist Kevin Sherrington attended the Round Rock Express' news conference announcing the signing of Manny Ramirez.
Here's some of what Ramirez had to say:
On playing in Taiwan(關於台灣經驗): “It’s a great experience, let me tell you. Once you go overseas, everything change. But I really appreciate the way those people in Taiwan treat me. It’s awesome. I really can’t talk bad about the way they treat me.”
* * *
“Let me tell you, once you’re in Taiwan, and you come to Triple A, this is like the big leagues. Over there in the stadium, no A/C, no food. But I’m just happy to be here.”(這一段是指台灣球場沒有空調沒東西吃，但即使如此他還是很高興)
* * *
How bad did you want to get back?(你有多想要回來(指回美國打球)?)
“Bad, bad, bad(超想、超想、超想回來....). Like I always say you gotta go through the fire first(暗指回美國前的一切都是試煉，那台灣也算是煉獄之一嗎??), then when you come out, blessings come(他熬過來了，祝福也降臨). I went through a tough time, I learned from it and I’m moving on.”(我歷經苦難但也從中學到東西，現在我要向前邁進了)
* * *
“What I learned was once you’re in the storm (這裡的"風暴"應該泛指禁藥風波之後的日子). . . it’s good, because it makes you grow up and make you decide which way you have to go. The thing that I learned when I was in the storm, I learned how to listen, go and pray to God. I didn’t listen to people on the outside, and that helped me a lot.”
* * *
Any adjustments to your hitting approach?
“Not really. I just try to be myself. I don’t make any changes. Sometimes I watch (Raul) Ibanez and (Jason) Giambi and see they’re still doing good so I put that on my mind and say, ‘Why not?’ I just do what I always do."
這一篇就比較負面了，曼尼真的是把台灣看成一個棒球蠻荒的地方，來台灣打球是上帝給他的其中一個試煉....他認為台灣的棒球環境比起3A差一大截，只要呆過台灣再回3A就覺得3A像大聯盟了....

好吧，分開談。
一般場地的確也有很大的問題，這是公務部門要負責。
但職業用球場，我還是認為應該由職業球團自行負責。
（曼尼說的重點，應該是針對職業用球場的問題吧？）...(恕刪)
台灣職業球團在過去都不大，如果要翻新球場，出一半的錢可能也會要他們的命
雖然今年有義大進來跟統一抗橫，不過也是今年的事，
而球場的認養制度也是因此產生，所以他們是認養而已，
要整個大翻修是很難的。
國外的球隊的球場也多是一半球隊出資，一半當地政府出資，
能全數自已出資的球隊不多，主要是他們屬地主義及覺得有部份是當地政府的責任，
如果你要說現在幾個球場是誰的責任，我覺得還是政府及聯盟的責任較大，
但是因為這兩個單位爛很久，加上以前聯盟有大半是球團領隊自已交相賊
搞到現在二十幾年了，什麼也沒進步。過去全部都有問題。
總之，還是希望多幾支有錢有勢的企業來囉，跟政府一起好好的處理，
不然大家苦命經營下去，再二十年後，如果又有一個mlb跑來打球，
他可能會回去跟郝西瑟、曼尼說，二十/四十年前你們經歷過的，我也一樣

記者操作這新聞真的很簡單，他們不是去申請到一個mlb的球場去採訪
而是選擇最省錢，最簡單的方式去問義大說你們沒有提供食物，
想當然，義大一定很直覺的說這是翻譯問題，還把他們的伙食拿出來講，
我覺得，曼尼講的no food，應該不是那麼簡單的指三餐~~
只是他們mlb過慣了，一來到台灣，當然會把他跟那邊來做比較，
就算是在aaa，也不一定會有食物，
當時就有milb的球員說，他們的三餐有時只是三明治，
是只有mlb的球員來調整，或是比較有名氣的來，我們的伙食才會變好
