Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is being toasted this season, his last before riding off into the laid-back land of retirement. A time that will surely be filled with relaxation, good vibes, and back/neck massages.
During Saturday's game at Target Field, a day after the Twins presented Ortiz with a fun gag gift as a token of farewell, recalling a prank pulled on him by then-Twins third baseman Corey Koskie involving peanut butter and underpants (really!), Ortiz handed out a gift of his own.
The recipient was Twins first baseman Byung Ho Park. After Ortiz reached first, he proceeded to lay his hands on Park's neck/shoulders area and give him a pretty nice-looking massage. Just because.
Will Papi continue this pop-up massage parlor for the rest of the season? Will he open a chain after hanging up his cleats for good? Probably not, but it'd be pretty great if he did.
