David Ortiz Boston Red Sox

[+ WilliamM]

According to the St Louis Post Dispatch, Ortiz was shot by someone who was paid seven thousand dollars to killed him.

 

He was shot in the Dominican Republic last weekend. David had a second operation when the Boston Red Sox stepped in and flew him to a Boston.

 

Ortiz was a true star with the Sox and was a major reason the team won the first World Series in many years (against the St. Louis Cardinals).

 

Stay around, man.

 

 

And I watched that entire series, but as a life long Cardinal fan

And the news reports that the hit-men were paid a grand total of under $8000! Life doesn't seem to have much value in the DR...

The DR has a pretty low cost of living, which probably factors into the equation. Then again, on the west side of Phoenix lives are taken for free.

On one occasion of serving jury duty in NYC I heard a case in which someone was paid a paltry $700.00 to travel from Baltimore, MD to NYC to do a whack job. You get what you pay for, the victim survived.

Sounds kinda expensive for a hand job!

Like I was supposed to just let a comment about a 'whack job' go without responding?

 

But if you think it was disrespectful, then I'm sorry, sync, I should not have disparaged your doing your patriotic duty by serving on a jury.

 

Better?

Um, if this is for me, I didn't feel any disrespect or disparagement.

I read once that in the US some hitmen are contracted for as little as $100. Desperate meth addicts don't need much convincing apparently. In contrast, eight grand in the DR is a king's ransom.

 

It sounds like Big Papi will make a full recovery. I am so happy to see the Red Sox reach out the way they did. As a die-hard Red Sox fan, I will always love David Ortiz.
