Rest in Peace Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM

Glamour magazine ran a great piece on his backstory here in 2008.

Manny Being Manny
Last Saturday I covered the Los Angeles Dodgers (aka Los Doyers) for LAist. The most intriguing part of the day was Manny Ramirez.
Few players are the topic of such headline variety: The Big $$$ Contract, The Hair, The Steroids… Allegedly, The Homeruns, The Boston Years — The Manny Being Manny. He’s sometimes talked about as a teammate who finds ways to make his teammates...
