Former Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz has two things in common with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady – winning championships and playing the game into their 40’s.
As two of Boston’s biggest sports icons of this era, Ortiz and Brady have crossed paths many times over the years and still occasionally keep in touch to this day. While Brady has never specifically asked him for retirement advice, Big Papi knows what he’d tell him if the topic ever came up.
Ortiz revealed his thoughts on the matter during an appearance on WEEI at Foxwoods as part of the Red Sox Winter Weekend event.
