Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez says he got to check in with David Ortiz in the wake of his shooting earlier this week in the Dominican Republic. And despite narrowly surviving an attempt on his life and undergoing two surgeries, the retired Red Sox legend’s first point of interest was how Nunez was doing.
“I replied, ‘Hey, it’s not about how am I doing, it’s about how you’re doing! You tell me!” Nunez told ESPN’s Marly Rivera on Wednesday.
Nunez, who is friends with Ortiz and has the same agent, told Rivera that he got to talk with Ortiz over the phone Tuesday as his fellow Dominican continued to recuperate at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
