[@auntiewewe972]

@@mbhftw let's see besides fighting with, alienating almost every single former teammate, let's try denying evolution, comparing Muslims to Hitler, advocating for the lynching of journalists, supporting white supremacists on Brietbart Radio, and literally hundreds of racist, bigoted posts on Facebook. Yeah that video game fiasco was one of the LEAST horrible things he'll be remembered for. As a life long RedSox fan I'm sickened by the fact he was on the team. Take that bloody sock and shove it up his ass. If you really got to ask why was Schilling a racist then I suggest going back over his history. It's well documented. Curt Schilling is a piece of 💩

[@thedude8439]

Tour Guide keeps asking Ortiz who was the hardest pitcher he faced but never got an answer.... Don't ever ask David Ortiz someone's name..... He's terrible at remembering people's names. That's how he got his nickname from Jerry Remy....... Remy noticed that Ortiz was always calling everyone Papi and gave him the nickname "Big Papi". Later Ortiz went on to explain that he's terrible at remembering names so he would go around calling everyone Papi. True story. RIP RemDawg!!

[@Thinwhiteduke1185]

"What'd he call you?" "...Dustin" "Why'd he call you that?" "It's my fucking name!"

Oh shit I made a comment elsewhere about how we saw Papi play in like 2011 at Fenway and my mum still remembers how the PA guy announced his name because it sounded so badass

[@DarrylbeaneBeane]

My brother was friends with Jeter. When he came up to bat he would say Derek...pause..Jeter. to the crowd would boo longer. After a game he came up to Carl and said are you doing that on purpose? Carl said yup. Lol

Kirby Puckett was papis biggest mentor coming into mlb , he always shows love to him. The best people never forget who helped them get to where they are.

[@richda59]

I love the guy telling David to be careful

[@fenwayify]

Any real baseball fan gets emotional seeing all those artifacts from the greats. I had the privilege of seeing the hall in 1973 with my dad and brothers. That was the year Clemente had been given early induction following his death in a plane crash. The five of us returned in the winter of 2013, when my dad was about to turn 90. To think that at the end of that next season, us lifetime Sox fans would be celebrating a THIRD championship within a decade span; even now it seems hard to believe. I can only imagine what it must feel like to Ortiz to be part of that group and see his own items included in the mix. ..

[@OldBenKenobi2318]

2013 is when you scummy soxs beat my Cardinals in the World Series

[@fenwayify]

@@OldBenKenobi2318 There was nothing scummy about the Red Sox in 2013. That was the year of the Boston Marathon Bombing when Ortiz lifted not only the city, but the nation, in defiance of terrorism. His speech at Fenway, 5 days after the bombing, "This jersey that we wear today, doesn't say Red Sox. It says Boston. This is our f***ing city. And nobody's gonna dictate our freedom. Stay strong." was about as real and powerful as it gets. Ortiz led from the start that season to the end. He rallied the team in a comeback for the ages in game 2 of the Championship Series against Detroit, having an impromptu meeting in the dugout, where he barked at the team for playing scared, then delivered a game tying grand slam in the 8th inning (which they went on to win) sending Torii Hunter tumbling over the bullpen fence and causing a Boston cop to raise his arms in triumph. Ortiz then went 11 for 16, hitting .688, with a 1.948 OPS in the World Series. That team earned every damn thing they got that year, including winning the trophy. Considering St. Louis has the second most World Series wins in all of MLB history, they aren't exactly starved of glory. They also were the beneficiaries of facing an "Impossible Dream" team in 1967, AFTER they lost their 22 year old right fielder, Tony Conigliaro, in August, when he was hit in the face by a Jack Hamilton pitch. Tony C. was an absolute star. He had already hit 100 home runs in his career. Barring injury, 500 homers was not an unreasonable career number, which Yaz shared after Tony's early death. Most loyal fans are going to cheer for their team no matter what, but teams like the Yankees and to a lesser extent, the Cardinals are spoiled. They have no idea what it's like to go 86 years without your team winning; just like in real life, it's easy to take what we're given for granted. St. Louis' all-time best player, Stan Musial, knew that truth and what was truly important. He was an even better man than he was a ball-player, clearly among the greatest to ever play. He didn't begrudge anyone, while comporting himself with humility and compassion.

[@jakkobg1981]

AWSOME. I'm sure I will. My wife my self and my son are going to Cooperstown the end of July for my sons 12u Select Baseball Team Tournament. It's gona be wonderful to share that with my son the game we love can't wait.

Another example of why papi is one of the most down to earth genuine good dudes it’s crazy as a Boston sports fan how different I feel about Ortiz vs TB12 after they left........

[@ananthropomorphictalkinggo6641]

Yeah, once I found out that Brady's wife and children have been begging him to retire for years, but he's too concerned with his passing stats to care about them, I lost all respect. There's a difference between being the ultimate competitor and being a complete and total narcissist, and the past few years have demonstrated that Brady is the latter. Not to mention, 25 years in the NFL is going to have profoundly negative effects on his brain later on in life, and he's putting that burden on his wife and kids because God forbid someone throw a ball further than him. Plus, he is a complete and utter phony.

I respect David for what he did off the field more than on field. I was volunteering helping teenagers in literacy programs who stayed in school and graduated solely because of his off field activities. There is more to appreciate about a person than one dimension. Sorry if you can’t agree with me on that. I wish you the best but I am done with this discussion.
