David Ortiz is a true inspiration to me , because he came from nothing in The Dominican Republic,and I'M also Dominican.I also baseball starting from 11 or 12 and he 's also my favorite player.

[@VictoryX11]

HOF First Ballot for David Ortiz. I don't care what nobody said . This man have shown he belongs there.

[@dajosee]

No Drug User will ever get into the HOF

[@jimdavignon]

Great clip. Ortiz is a one of kind hero to his fellow Dominicans.

[@jamiewhite1403]

Ortiz is reminding us to never forget our roots never forget where you come from

[@modernknight6871]

3:16 if there is something that all Latinos should be proud of is the fact that we are always thinking how to do something big enough that pays our parents for everything they did to raise us. Not because we have to, but because it's one of the greatest feelings in the world when you can help your parents and also provide for them

[@juniormartinez1122]

Muy cierto somos criados asi con el respeto desde crianza Hermano. Nosotros los Latinos pensamos en nuestros padres ante cualquier situation en el mundo

[@yulissai6942]

Amén to that. Muy cierto.

[@IM_ROBBY]

Dominicans can really fucking play baseball, and part of the reason is because they really WANT it! Most of us only think we want it, but we don't nearly sacrifice enough to get it. Big Papi, what a legendary player.

[@ichewthebonetothemerum1237]

dominican republic may produce most mlb player but none of them will be like Roberto clemente in my opinion I'm puerto rican baseball is big in pr to

[@IM_ROBBY]

[@Youtubedisciple]

why does david ortiz have dark skin

[@Youtubedisciple]

***** I guess it's normal for Dominicans to have African genes :/

[@juniormartinbatista6001]

We are proud of you David.

[@lolabella5574]

Que Dios te bendiga, te proteja, y te devuelva tu salud. Seguimos rezando por ti. Eres nuestro orgullo dominicano. God bless you, protects you, and give you back your health. We continue praying for you. You are our Dominican pride. ✊🏼🥰🙏✝️

Class act

[@sominboy2757]

16 years later and the twins front office is STILL kicking themselves. why do we have a cheapass owner WHY?

[@thagreatfrank3071]

El Jefe AKA The Boss!! 💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@Jacoblaggard]

yes papa

[@randeeezeee411]

I'm a Yankee fan but I think he should be an hof

[@rafaelceara1]

Great short video but a quick observation: Santo Domingo is not a country, it's a city! Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic :)

[@09STC]

Releasing Big Papi has gotta be one of former Twins GM Terry Ryan's biggest regrets. With the Red Sox, Big Papi carved out a Hall of Fame worthy career filled with the individual accolades and WS titles.

[@ryan08sti]

As a Yankees fan...Papi had better be a first ballot HOF....if not that's bullshit

[@mo9504]

Thanks ryan

[@matthewfajardo2068]

Anyone here still in 2021?

[@nicolasbitcoin2549]

Omg pedro could have brought big papi in Montreal if we paid him 😂😂

[@edwinurena4010]

Hainero papa del Barrio Invicea

[@chaimrubin4403]

Big papi was always a yankee killer but I love that man he was baseball growing up and then after Boston bombing he gets up to speak and says this is our fucking city and ain’t no one gone dictate our freedom

[@danieldonavan9622]

If I wasn't for pedro having the sox sign him.

[@MannyMonchy]

Casi te vuelan el caco allá mismo 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@flipstick4202]

Fo Real?!

[@skankhunt1017]

I believe his zodiac sign has alot to do with his love

[@usure9250]

Yeah I’m not taking that offer Ortiz lol

[@djsamexclusive3829]

The dislikes must be yankee fans

[@Aim4sixmeals]

Why is most mlb players latinos really wonder i dont know any afro americans playing it

[@rftulie]

There still are plenty of African Americans in the major leagues. My own favorite ballclub (and Papi's club, the Red Sox) has two in the starting lineup -- Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley, Jr, both amazing ballplayers. However, you're right in that there's a lot less black MLB players than there were say, 30-40 years ago. In the 1940s and 50s when the majors finally stopped barring black players, they showed up in large numbers and changed the game. In recent years black athletes have gone more for basketball and football than baseball. Lots of reasons, too complicated to list here...

[@Aim4sixmeals]

rftulie tnx for the info bro appreciate it

[@joepetrizzo4924]

GO YANKEES #1
