I like that as a retirement gift on his final year tour, Baltimore gave him the busted up phone. Ortiz later said in his book that it pissed him off but he just smiled anyway.

[codmpink]

Really? No one is going to talk about how dude to the right almost got his brains mushed in?

[jeffymeh]

The Orioles just gifted that smashed telephone to Ortiz today, over 3 years later, in honor of his retirement

[Brynny]

The broadcaster at the end was the icing on the cake. “ My phone doesn’t work, your phone doesn’t work - but that thing still works” lol 😂

[PokerJunkie]

I was at that game, right behind the Red Sox dugout.. It sounded like Papi was killing someone behind the wall 😂😂😂😂

[potatosmasher]

I love how they blur out the mouth, like it actually matters lmao

[TheBitNerd]

It’s also funny to think he actually now has this trashed phone since the Orioles gave it to him when he retired.

[jonathanlumbag]

“I don’t think that phone’s gonna work anymore” has the same energy as “bit rude innit?”

[JediPhoenix]

I do appreciate that fact that it was Pedroia, in particular, who was getting on Ortiz's case and telling him to chill out. Those two go back a ways, after all.

[TheLockdownKidNYC]

I love seeing Dustin Pedroia get right in Ortiz's face like "Hey. You calm down, okay? You could've seriously hurt somebody with that bat."

I'm not a Sox fan but I am a Pedroia fan.

The crowd wakes up from sleeping after he smashes the telephone

[PowerLvL]

Damn, in the right hands, a wooden club is a very scary weapon. You kinda forget how strong MLB power hitters are sometimes.

[Anonymouscpa]

“The phone still works that’s a good news” lol

[strawberrybeatlesforever]

I love dustin pedroia's reaction when he smashes the phone.

[TheTexas]

One of my favorite calls in baseball. “I don’t think that phone’s gonna work anymore.”

[charlesharrington]

"I'm David Ortiz and this is my baseball bat".

[bdbailey]

Umpire: Strike 3!



The phone: Why do I hear boss music?

[jordankupchella]

The fact that this was posted by MLB is great. Haha gotta love big papi!

[jujusbike]

How weird, I just got the notification on my phone that he got shot and then he pops up on my recommendation?

[xavineira]

“Collect call from Mr Ortiz do you accept?”
