Among the many celebrities, media analysts, and fans who have decided to weigh in on Tom Bradys impending free agency with their opinions and predictions, one recent voice in the chorus should stand out just a little bit above the rest — and that’s because it belongs to Beantown legend David Ortiz.
The former Red Sox designated hitter and first baseman, who spent the final 14 seasons of a prolific 20-year career in Boston, has befriended Brady over the years. The two were once considered the biggest names in Boston sports — particularly after the dissolution of the Celtics’ Big Three (Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce) — and they’ve spent a good deal of time together both in public and in private.
