    I hope he is ok. I Enjoyed watching him step into the batters box. I love listening to his analysis before the World Series games. Always a pleasure to hear him speak. He has a great personality.

    Seems a bit over the top for this forum and unrelated to the tragic topic.

    the operation lasted six hours and was performed by three doctors, led by Dr. Abel Gonzalez. The team had to remove part of Ortiz's intestines and colon, as well as his gallbladder. Ortiz suffered liver damage.

    There is a video of shooting on line. If real, it looks like an intentional targeted act

  • I love the ESPN commercial with him, the Yankees hat and the mascot.

    I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.

    It appears in a video, yes it looks like an assassination attempt. the suspect did not even try to rob him. Rather, he just straight up shot him in the back. Also it appears the suspect was beaten badly by a crowd following the incident

    Coward. They should've fed him to hungry pigs.
