It's encouraging to see justice served in the attempted killing of David Ortiz. His legacy of being an outstanding baseball player and beloved Dominican native will continue to live on. #JusticeForBigPapi

That doesn’t mean he should be murdered. Leave your machismo at the door.

He shouldn’t be murdered for it but also I can see someone murdering him for it. Don’t touch the hornets nest.

My guy you implied it that being part of an affair was deserving of an attempted murder.

He could also have been referencing the previous comment’s mention of the player’s legacy but, yeah it does come off not so great.

Been a long few years. I forgot until now, and my boss/friend is a huuuuge Sox fan, so this was big news around the shop when it happened.

Seriously…a TON of insane shit has happened between then and now it’s insanity. I only vaguely remember this and haven’t thought of it since the original news. Glad to see it!

Yeah, I am picturing something out of John Wick. He is just walking off the field one day when one by one these ten assassins run up to him and try to kill him with guns, swords, knives, and bolo ties. One by one he defeats them.

A night security guard walks up to him, looks around at the unconscious bodies and asks, "uhhh, hey David. Working again?" "No. I'm just sorting some stuff out. Noise complaint?" "Yeah. Uh, noise complaint. Well, you have a good night, David." "Good night, Cedric. Tell the wife I said hi."

Remember this - After Big Papi was shot and the shooter jumped on a motorcycle driven by an accomplice an angry mob chased them down on foot, caught up to them, and beat them severely.

I didn't read the article, but I assume all of them were members of the 2004 Cardinals.

God damn my team out here catching strays and it’s not even spring training yet.

(It’s mostly just a dumb joke about saying someone is “with the angels” to mean they have died.)

Which reminds me of this from years ago:

“I always thought Albert Pujols would stay a cardinal for ever, but he’s with the angels now.”

Funniest thing ever written by a baseball reporter

The 2013 Cardinals. He straight up murdered their pitching staff. Was hitting over .700 for the series until they finally decided to intentionally walk him the rest of the series.

Yeah, but they swept the Cards in the 2004 WS...

How can anyone hate him…. Guy was a class act on and off the field.

The article mentioned that a drug trafficker put the hit on him out of jealousy.

It's DR. Don't flaunt and flex if you don't wanna be a target. Someone will always have a chip on their shoulder.

Please tell me you didn't just justify attempted murder with unproven allegations that he cheated in a sport

Bioschnaps t1_j23jnm5 wrote

?? He doubted you could call him a class act if he was cheating/ doping. Where did he justify the murder attempt?

TheCryptocrat t1_j24a5qd wrote

It's just reddit echo chamber my friend. You either think he is a class act or need to be murdered, there is no in between.

masshole4life t1_j259mm9 wrote

so you have evidence that he was cheating/doping?

that's funny because he failed a drug test but was never suspended or punished for "cheating", nor formally accused by the league. what is your evidence that he failed for PED and not cannabis? your ass?

Oh shit, so he was the actual target during that incident.

Wasn't he cheating on his wife when he got shot? Bought a 80k Benz for the model he was with or something who happened to be a sort of girlfriend of the drug lord who ordered the hit? All sorts of stories were floating around that time
