I am sure the PED lovers in here will shed a tear.

He actually had a very David Ortiz type year (141 OPS+) so I have to wonder why the retirement.

The steroid tests are getting better.

Thanks for the forewarning, David so that everyone has 2016 to honor you and give you gifts. Not that that entered your mind or anything.

Hall of fame?

Once all the other guys found guilty either by testing or the court of public opinion get in then he will get in. Before QM and CF8 get butt-hurt I am actually in favor of voting in all of the guys that have the numbers regardless of whether or not they did PEDs or are suspected of that. I wouldn't do an asterisk, but I would point out that they played in that era. Oh and if they tested positive I would also point that out.

Expected to retire after 2016

After seeing all of these videos it is only a matter of time before someone suggests he would be a great manager for the Angels because, "at least he would show some emotion".

I am sure he can afford his own gifts. The guy treats people well from what I have read, so I could see him doing something similar to what Rivera did when he retired, which was thank the behind the scenes guys at each stadium.

Roid rage?

[yk9001]

can we please quit quoting the gifs?

 

so many gifs of such a super annoying guy.

[laagamer]

I'd have called called him out on that 3rd one.

"Whoops, did you step out of the box? Must have distracted me. Oh well. SIT THE **** DOWN FAT ASS."

Also because he and Arte will see eye-to-eye because they're both Mexican.

LOL

[OregonLAA]

Why do guys announce it? Do they really need any more attention? Good grief. Don't mind Ortiz but I hate the new farewell tours

[tomsred]

Too bad he's retiring after this year. The Dodgers could have used him this year as their manager, the dugout explosions would have been epic.

I love David Ortiz - one of my favorite players to watch. I'll always remember his epic home run in game 4 of the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. 12th inning, 2-run homer to win the game. The Red Sox went on to win three more to beat the Yankees after being down 0-3, and then win their first World Series in, what, 90 years? Such great baseball drama.

[m0nkey]

His walk off against washburn is what i'll always remember him by

[mrwicked]

im assuming he retires after this next season?

have to imagine the guy wants the send-offs each night.

the boston fans still love him.

Mods, can you do something about this?

Lol, seriously WTF?

[Angelsjunky]

Forgive me for loving baseball.
