Orioles give retiring David Ortiz the dugout phone he smashed three years ago
Although the Red Sox and Orioles are playing a pivotal series in Baltimore this week, the hosts found a good time to gift retiring Boston slugger David Ortiz a spectacular gift.
A dugout phone.

The one he smashed in 2013, memorably.
What a cool gift! Adam Jones presented it to Papi on the field before Thursday’s game.
The Orioles also donated $10,000 to the World Pediatric Project to help sick kids in the Dominican Republic, so that’s better.
We will miss him. The rival Orioles may not, honestly.
