Old news, David Ortiz came "clean" on being "dirty" a few weeks back. Since then things have been going fairly well. He now has 22 dingers and 77 RBI's a very nice line since he started out the season so terrible.
David Ortiz smoked 8 bombs since his announced "careless supplement" use. He's played in the most hostile of environments, New York, Baltimore, Toronto, Tampa Bay, and Texas.
My big question here is: Why aren't fans booing Big Papi? The guy admitted to using steroids (kinda), but its assumed that he was. I mean the same thing happened with Alex Rodriguez and he can barely step into the box at Fenway the steroid chants are so loud. It appears to me that the Yankees fans and fans of baseball have dropped the ball on this one. If Yankees fans want to declare themselves the best fans in sports, you can't be whispering when David Ortiz comes to bat at Yankee Stadium. This is your time to shine.
Maybe you guys can take some pointers from the Fenway Faithful (see video 1)
Video 1:
Video 2: (keep in mind this is IN the balcony of Yankee Stadium so it might appear to be louder, the first video was ESPN mics which are typically quieter and pick up less crowd noise)
Also other than two days of Yankees fans knocking on Ortiz for "tainting world series" I think they kind of dropped the ball on the internet as well. I'm still shitting on A-roid for the things he did, why are the Yankees fans so quiet on the Ortiz front(it can't possibly be cause they secretly love him, could it?).. YANKEES FANS THIS WAS YOUR TIME TO SHINE!... YOU BLEW IT!
