Manny's contract in Japan includes unlimited sushi, optional practices

Manny Ramirez's newest contract made waves in January, when it was revealed the former MLB slugger would continue to play professional baseball in Japan at the ripe old age of 44.

But it turns out the 19-year major-league veteran also has some interesting and unique perks in his new deal with the Kochi Fighting Dogs of the Shikoku Island League Plus.

In traditional Manny fashion, a stipulation of his deal makes practices optional for the former big-league outfielder, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, citing a translation from Yakyudb.com. Not only can he show up to training whenever he so chooses, he'll also receive unlimited sushi while with his new team.

Of course, this is only going to help fortify the "Manny being Manny" legacy, but who of us can say we haven't tried to score infinite sushi in our own negotiations?
