Ah, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have a rivalry that transcends time. Every year, we look forward to another emotionally draining yet highly entertaining battle between these two successful squads.
One of the main fixtures in the battle in the past has been David Ortiz, the portly designated hitter who Yankees fans loved to hate in public and dared to respect in the shadows. Well, Ortiz has nothing but nice things to say about the enemy team.
Ortiz spoke to Nicole Yang of Boston.com to share some insight onto this season. Besides discussing the idea of Opening Day being a holiday (hint, he’s on board), he also talked about just how powerful this Yankees team is.
