Baseball icon David Ortiz, renowned for his prowess at the plate, has encountered a pitch he couldn’t connect with. The Hall of Fame slugger is making waves on social media after a video of him swinging and missing a baseball during a gender reveal party went viral.
The online community, particularly baseball enthusiasts, didn’t miss the chance to playfully tease Ortiz for this rare moment. One tweet humorously questioned, “How does a player that’s so good everyone calls him big papi miss the ball for his gender reveal?” Another jestingly remarked, “David Ortiz always struggled up and in.” A third individual added a touch of humor, suggesting, “They should have gotten any pitcher from the Cardinals 2013 World Series roster to throw it to him.”
