Fox studio host and former SNY Mets reporter Kevin Burkhardt talks with The Post’s Justin Terranova about David Ortiz’s return, Carlos Beltran’s Mets chances and World Series pitching.
Q: How did the return of David Ortiz play out from your perspective?
A: Truthfully, I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it. Our coordinating producer went to see him a couple of months ago and he came back and was like, “Guys, he looks great and wants to do the postseason.” I still had to see him in the flesh. We had dinner before the ALDS started and that’s the first time I had seen him, and except for being down 30 pounds he looked great.
