The writer is a self described: “unapologetic, lifelong Yankees fan and a long-time season ticket holder.”
Ortiz shattered and humiliated the Yankees in 2004, leading the Red Sox to an epic comback from a three games to none deficit to winning four straight games and the league championship.
Ortiz may not be a saint. But the bile behind this article is simply a testament to the writer’s butt hurt.
Agree 100%. A-Rod was only mildly tainted from the 2003 test. His real problems came later, because he kept on juicing. Same with Bonds - he had that BALCO issue that was unrelated to the 2003 test. I'm not a fan of Big Papi, but I have followed his career somewhat, being a masochistic Twins fan (yes, that's redundant. No, there's not another kind of Twins fan). The Twins let him go because the already had two big LH batters in the middle of the order, one (Morneau) who at the time was better and played the same position (1B). I am shocked that 13 years later Ortiz is the best of the three, and it hasn't been close since around 2010.
This article is the truth about the fraud that is Big Papi.
