How does it feel to wake up everyday knowing that every person that you've met or spoen with in your entire life, thinks that you're a total asshole? And worse, you just can't change.

Shut the fuck up. If this were A-rod you wouldn’t have even came to this thread. The dude ain’t dead or dying

Good news, hopefully he gets tighter security around him going forward.
Did you see the tape? Ortiz is just sitting there and the other guy sneaks up behind him and shoots him in the back. Literally the most cowardly thing someone can do. I don't care if you don't like/respect him, nobody deserves that bullshit and the street justice was swift.


But I thought this was some sort of robbery.

This guy shoots him while he is sitting in an outdoor restaurant pack with 50-75 people who are right there.

This sure looks like a hit. ...was it from an altercation that night, or is Ortiz involved in unscrupulous activity.

That might make sense if he was still playing. Why take out a retired player?


When that retired player is mostly responsible for the deepest psychic scar this sports fan will ever know.......



Wait-Nevermind, wasn't me!!!!

Crazy. Who knows, maybe some gang decided to try to extort him and he said F off. Lots of possibilities for someone in a country like DR wanting him dead, I suppose

i've watched the video and my best guess is the shooter just wanted his 15 minutes of fame. If he actually wanted to kill him, he could have easily put a bullet in his head. And it wasn't a robbery. the guy just shoots Ortiz in the back and runs off.

If you shoot someone in the back you're intending to kill them, that bullet has lot's of vital areas it can hit and there is no saving you, not to mention hitting the spine which paralyzes you forever.. Shooting someone in the back is trying to kill them.. You can hit the heart through the back, lungs, Aorta, the list goes on, all can cause death...

Remind me never to hire you as an assassin if your idea of a Kill Shot is shooting someone in the liver which is where he shot Ortiz.

I'm just wondering why?

Who would want to take out Big Papi? The dude is a genuinely good ambassador to the game and he's that country's biggest sports star by a wide margin.
IMO when a great player goes back to his home country and throws money around without a care, people get jealolus.

Maybe he stopped paying his PED supplier?
