BOSTON (CBS) – David Ortiz has reportedly been shot during a robbery attempt in the Dominican Republic. Ortiz was shot and wounded at an amusement center in Santo Domingo, his father told ESPN’s Enrique Rojas.Ortiz’s condition is not known.
Looks like it is.
Big Papi A future Baseball hall of famer if his 1 time PID use is ignored.
A nice guy. Hope for the best for him.
Who is David Ortiz?
A douche.
Who gives a damn?
Big Papi Big Target. Haiti/D.R. first rate shithole island.
Politician? Tourist? Hollywood celebrity?
Or your next-door neighbor?
If NH citizens wouldn’t attempt and do drugs they wouldn’t be dying of fentanyl.
And ALL illegals should be sent home. Unfortunately Trump is making a point of not doing that.
"I believe there should be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter."
Tweet I caught this morning indicates damage to Ortiz’ liver (just how much was unsaid), plus the surgery required removal of gall bladder and part of his colon.
The article repeats the headline then his nam three times
I follow the Yankees as much as I can, not living in but being from NY, know the name that’s it
Scrolling the obnoxious responses to find out I figure:
Oh. Hes the guy who came out at Fenway after the marathon bombing and spoke in the inaudible thick accent until he said “f-ing” in perfect English to all those families.
That’s who he is
To this point, seeing that this is a story about a singular nut shooting Papi, not for robbery or that kind of thing, it brings a personal story to mind.
****
Back in the 90's my wife and I flew from Pittsburgh to Chicago to see our Pirates play at Wrigley. We registered at the hotel at which we stayed as members of the Pirate family, as it was set up by friends of the Pirates.
Late in the night around midnight the night before the game, my wife and I, (both of us in our mid 30's) decided to have a drink at the hotel bar before retiring for the night.
As we were there at the hotel bar, we found ourselves sitting beside a prominent player. He had played for a number of teams and was highly regarded.
He was sitting beside my wife, we were in conversation with him, then at one point he decided to EXPOSE HIMSELF there at the bar. He just pulled it out as he was sitting on his bar stool. Pretty bizarre.
I could see that if I (or someone else) were of the temperament to respond violently and was a guy with a weapon, I might have gone to get my weapon and shot the guy.
I hope this kind of thing is NOT what happened with Papi....... and I sincerely doubt it.
Anyhow ..... a number of these "sports heroes" are not what they seem.

“Who is a Dave Ortiz? Athlete for some Boston team I guess.”
Great ball player with the Red Sox. He was recently at a Texas Rangers game honoring Andre Beltre. Lasorda was also there. 92 and going strong.
I had the same question. The first annoyance is that the “journalist” didn’t identify who this guy was. The low IQ critics here on FR then try to school you on using Google - ‘cuz, ya know, that’s the solution to lazy journalism from presumptuous pricks who have stagnated as self-absorbed, peevish adolescents. I’m sure that super-geniuses like “Artemis Webb” absolutely bores the hell out of what few family and friends that they have - so trust me - just blow then off. They couldn’t list off a single Bill of Right, but, by gosh, they know BAAAAASEBALLLLL! So impressive.
He gave a peptalk before a game after the Boston marathon Muslim murders, concluding . ..
This is our fng sitee. Stay strong!
While some people criticized, it got one helluva reaction
As I recall, the Twins got NOTHING for him in return. They just let him go, and the Red Sox grabbed him.
In fairness, sometimes a change of scenery is all that’s needed for a player to blossom.
A retired Redsox player who has a big mouth.
Prayers.
