There is no douuting that the rivally between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is the best one in sports.
Big Papi however, is tired of being booed at Yankee Stadium. So, someone suggested he take to the streets of NYC and try to get people to hug him in hopes of making a few freinds...
This might be where I draw the line. I'm a pretty big Red Sox fan, but owning Big Papi's beard hair might be just a little bit gross. You have until Saturday, November 30th to bid on the Shane Victorino or the David Ortiz beard. To be fair, the beard hair that Papi wore in the World Series is being auctioned off for a good cause...
Mariano Rivera played what was most likely his final game at Fenway Park last night. The Red Sox honored him before the game (and also roasted him about 2004). Rivera enjoyed every moment. Also before the game, Big Papi took the future Hall of Famer out for lunch...
David Ortiz came under fire last week after he bashed in a dugout telephone with his bat, but THIS week he does a 180 and poses with a fan's baby during the National Anthem before a game against the Kansas City Royals.
Big Papi got tossed in the Red Sox 7-3 win over Baltimore on Saturday night, after the umpire called a strike on an 3-0 count. Ortiz would end up going down on strikes, and he was not a big fan of the pitch that set him up for that.
During last nights Sox Rays game there was a small melee in the 6th inning which once again cleared both dugouts. There is a history with these 2 teams, and while there were no punches thrown last night, it made me flashback to one of my favorite brawls in Red Sox history...
