Big Papi says A's ace Gray looks like Apple employee
To David Ortiz's surprise, Oakland A's pitcher Sonny Gray makes his living on pitching mound, not at the Genius Bar.
The Boston Red Sox slugger has penned a column for the Players' Tribune in which lists and writes about the five toughest pitchers he's faced.
"But the first time I see this Gray kid on the mound, I can't help but notice he's 5-foot-10 and skinny. He looks like the guy who fixes my computer at the Apple Store."
Despite Ortiz's amusing line, he did have praise for Gray, saying, "The last few seasons, the toughest guy I've faced is Sonny Gray from Oakland. This kid's stuff is legit."
Big Papi also had this funny anecdote about former Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees hurler Mike Mussina, who made the top five:
Ortiz also called Mariano Rivera "the most amazing pitcher in the history of the game."
