David Ortiz gives Tom Brady a huge 2-word shoutout

David Ortiz is a name synonymous with greatness in the city of Boston. A long-time member of the Boston Red Sox and member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Ortiz is one of the most beloved sports figures in the city. Despite retiring in 2016, the home run slugger remains one of the most popular players in franchise history.

During his tenure with the Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz helped break the club's historic championship drought by winning the World Series in 2004. Before all was said and done, Ortiz added two more titles to his Hall of Fame resume, retiring at 40-years-old despite having one of the best seasons of his career.

Ortiz was part of an incredible time for Boston sports teams with the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, and New England Patriots all winning titles during that time as well. While David Ortiz was a beloved figure, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may have been on a different level of fame.
