Pedro Martinez: Manny Ramirez spiked alcohol 2004 Red Sox drank with Viagra
There may be a little blue reason the Yankees faced stiff competition from The Red Sox during the 2004 American League Championship Series.
While recounting his favorite Manny Ramirez memories, former pitcher Pedro Martinez said the slugger once spiked alcohol Boston players drank before postseason games with Viagra.
Ramirez had a bottle of Mama Juana sitting in his locker, according to the Hall of Famer, and told the Red Sox they were welcome to have some. But then, as Martinez said, Ramirez "went and doctored it."
"He put three 100 milligrams of Viagra in," a laughing Martinez told Seth Meyers while promoting his new book "Pedro."
Ramirez and a few players wanted someone to taste the concoction to see if it worked.
"We decided to let Ellis Burks try to taste it and I say, ‘You know, this Mama Juana, if you drink it, you might get turned on,' " Martinez recalled. "He said, ‘Oh, I’ll try it. I’ll try it. I’m not playing anyway.’ So he took it, it seemed like it worked. So everybody was coming up to him for a little shot.”

Re: Yankees faced stiff competition from The Red Sox
Adds another definition to "stiff" competition. Just another "performance enhancing" drug athletes used.....
