FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Around noon ET on Wednesday, the legendary David Ortiz reported to Red Sox camp in his typically inimitable fashion.
With his cap on backwards, and wearing stylish shades, a black T-shirt, light blue jeans and all kinds of bling, the retired slugger sauntered into Fenway South for the first time as a retired player.
It will be a short visit for Big Papi, who will be in uniform for his role as a special assistant through Sunday. He plans on guiding players with whatever advice or information they seek and giving the regular coaches whatever support they need.
