It was a terrifying Sunday for Red Sox fans as news came out that David Ortiz was shot in a club/restaurant in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Details were sparse for part of the night, but the news has become somewhat clearer in the morning and the good news is Ortiz is expected to make a full recovery. That news comes from his father, via Dionisio Soldevilla.
