Manny makes it to spring training -- on time

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez has shown up at the team's spring training site here.

Ramirez was given permission by Sox officials to begin his training with the team several days later than the other players, but some questioned whether he would meet today's extended deadline.

Ramirez arrived in camp at 9:01 a.m. wearing a Tim Brown Oakland Raiders jersey and sporting a new look -- scruffy beard and orange dreadlocks.
