Longtime Boston Red Sox icon David Ortiz said he's contracted and recovered from COVID-19.
The three-time World Series champion joined the Red Sox broadcast on NESN during Friday's game against the New York Yankees and talked about testing positive during a fourth-inning cameo.
Ortiz explained he was asymptomatic and has continued to test negative since recovering. Yet he said his brother also contracted the virus and required a hospital stay.
"This is no joke," Ortiz said on air.
Ortiz is the latest member of the baseball community to discuss his experience with the coronavirus.
