David Ortiz, John Krasinski Surprise Boston Healthcare Workers With Red Sox Tickets

John Krasinski and David Ortiz surprised Boston healthcare workers over the weekend to thank them for their tireless efforts while combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Krasinski talked with five workers from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center on his Some Good News online show Sunday. During their chat, Ortiz joined the group and announced the Red Sox will donate four tickets for Beth Israel employees to share "for life."

"I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart how much I love and respect you for what you’re doing," Ortiz said.

The Red Sox made their donation in response to a tweet the hospital shared earlier this month showing an employee in scrubs and a facemask holding a sign to support the team.
