Hold the phone: David Ortiz's farewell gift from the Orioles is a good call

BALTIMORE -- Talk about a good call.

Remember the dugout phone David Ortiz smashed with his bat in an all-time temper tantrum on July 27, 2013, at Camden Yards? Well, to mark Big Papi's final regular-season game in Baltimore, the Orioles on Thursday night presented the Boston Red Sox designated hitter with the remains of the phone, missing half of its cover and mounted on a piece of wood.

Ortiz laughed when he received the phone from Orioles center fielder Adam Jones, one of his closest friends in baseball.
