[highlight] Junior Caminero- “Let the Yankees fans talk now. Let them watch the whole thing. Talk Now. What ya gonna say? Daaaaa Yankees lose”

[u/futhatsy]

David Ortiz's biggest contribution to baseball was raising an entire generation of Dominican players that hate the Yankees.

[u/centaurquestions → u/futhatsy]

Give Pedro a little credit too

[u/yankee4life → u/centaurquestions]

In more ways than one. Pedro pushed for Boston to sign Papi after he was released by Minnesota.

[u/PassiveMenis88M → u/yankee4life]

And the reason he did is because David took what Pedro thought was a perfect pitch and yacked that thing into the upper deck.

[u/yankee4life → u/PassiveMenis88M]

A cutter inside

[u/TheVaniloquence → u/centaurquestions]

And Manny

[u/renee_gade → u/TheVaniloquence]

and Doug Mientkiewicz.

[u/chickenBUTTlet → u/renee_gade]

Dominican Doug as I’ve always called him

[u/AGSattack → u/chickenBUTTlet]

Good old Dominican Doug sitting at the colmado on a white plastic chair, eating mangú con los tres golpes, drinking a Presidente with bachata music in the background

[u/darthstupidious → u/AGSattack]

You took the words right outta my mouth

[u/OnlyForBaseball → u/AGSattack]

Doug’s more of a dembow kinda guy, he’s probably got some Braulio Fogon going

[u/crustpunkybrewster → u/chickenBUTTlet]

Mofongo Mientkiewicz.

[u/OMYGoodnesz → u/TheVaniloquence]

roids roids roids keep the list going!

[u/bryce_lynch27 → u/futhatsy]

And because Pedro says he was part of the reason Ortiz came to the Red Sox.

This is all Pedro’s fault

[u/Bravefan212 → u/bryce_lynch27]

That and the fact the twins thought $1M was too much to pay big papi

[u/IronicMnemoics → u/Bravefan212]

Papi wouldn't have turned into Papi here. Happy for him.

[u/centaurquestions → u/IronicMnemoics]

I love the stories about the Twins telling him to hit more singles.

[u/bryce_lynch27 → u/IronicMnemoics]

To be fair- he probably wasn’t roiding yet.

[u/WorldlinessTrick11 → u/Bravefan212]

Hey man, you can also add on some blame to the Mariners for trading Ortiz to the Twins even when A-rod, Griffey, and Edgar were begging the front office to bring him up to Seattle.

[u/Prince_Oberyns_Head → u/WorldlinessTrick11]

No that was some schmo named David Arias, that name never made it to the big leagues so the M’s were smart to move on

[u/Formal_Potential2198 → u/bryce_lynch27]

Just when I couldn't love Pedro more

[u/SnooRadishes2312 → u/futhatsy]

Guerrero has his own reasons to hate yankees because of some history the club had with his dad.

But definitely Ortiz is the one to get Guerrero ripping that line

[u/BUSean → u/futhatsy]

God bless him.

Take all the roids you want Papi.

[u/branta → u/BUSean]

Don't worry, he did. Him and ARod and Pettitte and hundreds of others.

Don't care. Put em all in the hall.

Anyhow, GG Rays, fun team to watch at least. Rather them than the Dodgers win it

[u/codenameduhchess → u/futhatsy]

Yankees did that to themselves as well.

[u/CarlySimonSays → u/futhatsy]

To be fair, Vlad Guerrero Jr. has had a bunch of reasons to dislike the Yankees!

[u/Panguin9 → u/futhatsy]

Couldn't get Austin Wells though!

[u/Sad-Second-9646 → u/futhatsy]

And doing steroids but somehow not getting penalized for it.
