Red Sox legend and Fox Sports broadcaster David Ortiz made the most of his short stint in London for MLB’s two-game series between the Cubs and Cardinals at London Stadium.
Among the highlights was Ortiz gifting new Fox broadcaster Derek Jeter with a customized Red Sox jersey on Saturday. But Ortiz’s time across the pond also saw him nearly lose an expensive piece of jewelry.
Fellow Fox Sports reporter and The Athletic columnist Ken Rosenthal detailed the incident in his latest notebook overseas. While on their way to dinner, Rosenthal was walking behind Ortiz when the former slugger’s diamond necklace fell off and slipped right through a grate and into the London sewers.
