David Ortiz appears to have made a mistake announcing his retirement early:
“No clue,” Ortiz told WEEI.com when asked if he had any idea the demands would be like this prior to the season. “But if I knew I would have probably announced it after the season. But it’s all good. At least we’ve been able to give the fans what matters the most, the opportunity to watch me play for the last time.”
I really have mixed feelings about these retirement tours. I understand that these help generate big crowds in places that might not otherwise get them. The ceremonies at other parks have gotten out of hand. “Let’s give the players that caused us to lose all those games a big gift!” “Thanks for throwing all those cutters against, Mariano!” “Thanks for all those clutch hits, Derek and David.” They are nice gestures, but it’s getting a bit out of hand.
