New York lawmakers to honor Red Sox legend David Ortiz (yes, really)
The state Senate will pause on Monday to honor a man who regularly crushed New Yorkers’ hopes and dreams.
“David Ortiz's triumph in the 2004 World Series not only elevated his status as a sports icon but also restored hope and pride to a storied franchise,” the resolution says. “Today, we honor ‘Big Papi’ for his indelible impact on the Red Sox and the game of baseball, an achievement that reverberates through the annals of sports history.”
“These activities not only underscore his commitment to philanthropy but also solidify his connection to New York State, leveraging his celebrity status to raise awareness and substantial funds for various causes, thus directly benefiting children and communities across the state,” Sepúlveda's resolution reads.
