Papi was hospitalized for irregular heartbeat!!!

[Bulldog]

It happened during the Yankees series. Some of you might have heard about it but I had no idea.
I hope his fine, seems like a humble person and definitely a talented hitter.


Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz confirmed to the Boston Herald on Thursday that he was hospitalized last weekend for an irregular heartbeat.

Ortiz told the Herald he began experiencing a rapid heartbeat Friday night after the Red Sox were swept by the New York Yankees in a doubleheader at Fenway Park. Although Ortiz played Saturday, the problem persisted and the Red Sox medical staff advised him to visit Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was held overnight for observation.

Ortiz, who is hitting .286 and leads the majors with 46 homers and 120 RBI this season, didn't miss any time during the Yankees series.

I wonder how many HRs he'd hit without Manny behind him...it's funny, some Red Sox fans are just so ignorant that they tried to tell me that Papi was a better hitter than Manny!! Anyway, it's something to keep an eye on if Manny is out for any extended period and after he leaves the Sox, personally, I don't think he hits 30, just slightly more than his best year in Minnesota.
