I was with you on missing players, but if you follow the link it is only US citizens (hence the American). Manny is not a US citizen.

I'm shocked that Steve Francis is on this. He disappeared years ago

@ mike: Manny Ramirez grew up in Washington Heights in Manhattan. David Ortiz and Albert Pujols are more Dominican than Manny, so no that's not right.

@dtro I guess that's what the link says, but I guess I'm just surprised that Manny isn't a citizen.

@awesomark The article says "Francis didn't play a minute last season, yet earned $17 million left over from his 2007 buyout with Portland and another $2.6 million from Houston and Memphis, which waived him in January"

Yeah great idea for a game but there needs to be more clarity over whether they play sports in America or are American. Vernon Wells should be on there
