Big Papi also giving out massages on retirement tour
Looks like David Ortiz is having a good time during his last year in the MLB.
And the Boston Red Sox slugger also looks like he wants others to take it easy on the field, too.
After hitting a single at the top of the third during the Boston-Minnesota game at Target Field on Saturday, Big Papi decided to spread the love and give Twins baseman Byung Ho Park a nice shoulder rub and massage chop while on base — a nice gesture from one player to another.
Which, of course, got some social media play:

Though this wasn't the first time Big Papi has tried to knead an opponent. Here, Ortiz tests out his back chop on Albert Pujols in 2014:
The game ended happily for the Red Sox: Boston destroyed the Twins in the second game of the series, 15-4.
