The Yankees are going to honor David Ortiz at the end of this year and I'm going to puke



NESN -  The New York Yankees will set aside their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox for one night this season. Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner spoke to reporters in Florida on Wednesday and told them the club plans to honor David Ortiz during his final series at Yankee Stadium. The retiring designated hitter will make his last trip there with the Red Sox from Sept. 27 to 29. 

“I am sure we’re going to do something,” Steinbrenner said, per the New York Post. “We have not formally, minute by minute, figured out exactly what we’re going to do yet. He’s a great player, great part of that franchise. Everything you like to see in a player.” The Red Sox did the same for shortstop Derek Jeter’s retirement, so it’s no surprise the Yankees are stepping up. Boston had a ceremony at Fenway Park for Jeter before the final game of the 2014 season, while Red Sox fans chanted his name earlier in the series.



This better be a joke.  I'm going to go ahead and let the vagueness of that Hal Steinbrenner comment leave the door open for reconsideration because this would be the softest move in the history of sports.  David Ortiz is the enemy in every sense of the word.  The worldwide love affair with him is possibly the most frustrating thing I have to deal with as a sports fan.  For it to culminate with a memorial at Yankee fucking Stadium would make my physically sick.  

All this guy has done for the last 13 years is break the Yankees' back and pimp every home run he's ever hit against them.  He walked it off two nights in a row and brought the Yankees to their lowest moment in franchise history.  He broke the curse and changed the entire dynamic of Yankees/Red Sox that existed for 100 years.  And he's a FUCKING CHEAT.  He was linked to the same exact list that nailed A-Rod in 2009.  All he did was wine, stomp his feet and deny it and everyone still believes him to this day.  Well not me.  Me and my friends will buy front row tickets to this ceremony and throw tomatoes at him.  And he will get booed.  There isn't a chance in hell he's going to get an ovation of any kind and if you're there and you cheer this asshole then you're not a fan.  You're a fucking loser.  Yea the Sox honored Mariano and Jeter.  Well guess what?  They deserved it.  Those are two universally revered players.  No one of sound mind could ever dislike Mariano for any reason and if you don't like Jeter then you're fat and ugly.  I can prove it.
