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

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

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

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.

(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

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?

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.
