Beloved Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been shot in the leg and transported to a local hospital in his native Dominican Republic, according to a report from Dominican TV station CDN 37 and confirmed by ESPN Deportes. ESPN, citing Ortiz’ father, Leo, reported that Ortiz, among the most clutch hitters in Major League Baseball postseason history and a three-time World Series champ with the Red Sox, was shot in the leg during a burglary attempt while at a nightspot in Santo Domingo. “They called me to tell me that David is injured and that they took him to a medical center, but they did not tell me how he is or exactly where he was transferred,” Leo Ortiz told ESPN.

It appears that he will fully recover..sitting at a restaurant and a guy jumped off a motorcycle and shot him in the back...shooter was caught and beaten by a mob...police are waitng for him to recover to question him...
David needs to have full time protection, what the heck?...

Doctors who treated retired Red Sox slugger David Ortiz after he was shot Sunday night in Santo Domingo had to remove part of his intestines, colon, gall bladder, and liver, according to published reports.
Dominican Republic with the recent deaths of Americans and now this shooting have lost millions in tourism.
Went there back about 6 years ago. Never went back.
Ortiz was in the richest and most safe area in town not on a dark back street.

Wow, guess the previous report of no major organs hit were a bit off...
wonder if the guy was just a nutcase looking to make a name for himself, or if Ortiz refused to pay some crimelord...maybe he needs to get together with Pedro and see how Pedro stays safe...

Yea figured it was a girl. The Dominican Republic is a shithole. Americans have died recently at resorts and many ill from what probably was methanol or some type of chemical. No one is safe there a it turns out |
