Shocking news from the Dominican Republic. David Ortiz shot in the back. Six hours of surgery and now in stable condition but reportedly part of his intestines and gall bladder removed. The Red Sox have sent a plane to the DR to take Papi back to Boston where he will be treated at Massachusetts General Hospital.
“David Ortiz is probably the most beloved and one of the most
important players in our history, leading us to multiple World Series
championships, and an active member in the community," said Red Sox team
president Sam Kennedy. "I would be hard-pressed to think of anyone more
beloved than David. It’s a very difficult day for the organization.
“I love David Ortiz. We all love David Ortiz.
So telling my kids last night what had happened was very difficult.
It’s hard to express what David Ortiz means to the Boston Red Sox. When
you love someone and they come in harm’s way, it’s jarring. But you have
to put those emotions aside and focus on what’s necessary."
