Oh bull####.Pedro wasn't a mid season coup. He left on what was basically his own terms as a free agent. Did he say some things on the way out? Sure he did, but it was nowhere near as bad as the Manny situation.Nomar was a shell of his former self at the time he was run out of town and is irrelevant in this conversation because he's never been back to Fenway as a player, let alone the first time being a World Series game. Unless he's been back in some other facet, with a full crowd on hand, that I don't know about, we don't know what kind of ovation he'd get. Although, I'm sure it's far enough in the past that it would be fine.Manny is still a MVP caliber superstar who basically railroaded himself out of town in the middle of a pennant race. He will be coming back to town to face the same team he basically abandoned during the same season in the World Series.Any Red Sox fan that applauds his return should be shot on site.Pedro was every bit as bad. Probably Nomar as well.And none of those guys left on as bad as terms as Manny did.
