Red Sox legend David Ortiz gifts My Dawg shirts during postseason coverage
Nov
David Ortiz, the Boston Red Sox legend and MLB on FOX analyst, is known for his generosity and his love of the game. During this year’s postseason coverage, he was seen on television giving away his own signature shirts to some of the best players in baseball and basketball.
The shirts featured a portrait of Ortiz in his Red Sox uniform, with his arms outstretched toward the sky, and the caption “My Dawg” printed in bold red letters underneath. These My Dawg shirts were a priceless gift to the players, as Ortiz only gave them to those he deemed worthy.
Some of the players who received Ortiz’s shirts included World Series MVP Corey Seager, Max Scherzer, Marcus Semien, Tommy Pham, Alek Thomas, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant. These are all top stars in their respective sports, and they were honored to receive this gift from “Big Papi.”
