yes, thats manny's famous sign that read: "jeter is playing golf somewhere today. this is better!" we wondered about that sign a bit since its hard to picture manny at home in the ritz with markers and posterboard. but they said in the paper today it was a fan created sign, so i guess he was give it by someone in the crowd. apparently he really like it since we could still see him carrying it 20 min later when we were watching the rest of the parade inside on the tv.

sadly big papi was on the opposite side of the boat and wasn't able to see him at all.
