Hell hath no fury like a baseball participant scorned by a Corridor of Fame voter.
Longtime Boston Globe columnist and reputed contrarian Dan Shaughnessy shouldn't be voting for Crimson Sox nice David Ortiz for the Baseball Corridor of Fame. The person generally known as Huge Papi didn’t appear to be too caught off guard by the snub.
“You already know that Dan Shaughnessy has been an a–gap to everyone,” Ortiz stated on WEEI’s “Meloni and Fauria” on Wednesday. “What can I inform you? It’s not a shock to me, it’s not a shock to y’all that he didn’t vote for me.
“What can I do? Dan’s not gonna cease something. He’s only one man that didn’t vote for you, and there’s nothing you are able to do about it. However I imply, it is a man who likes giving a tough time to everybody, so that you’ve acquired to like him that method.
Ortiz didn't appear to imagine Shaughnessy’s vote withholding is an abuse of energy.
“He’s acquired no rattling energy, bro,” Ortiz stated. “You already know that. He’s simply acquired the facility of the pen to write down what he believes on. However everybody is aware of he’s an asshole. What else are you able to do?”
Ortiz has purpose to be assured he will probably be enshrined in Cooperstown in his first time on the poll. A ten-time All-Star and three-time World Sequence champion with the Crimson Sox, he has obtained 83.7 p.c of votes from writers who've made their choices public to date in response to the Baseball Corridor of Fame tracker.
Whereas this pattern contains barely lower than half of the eligible voters, the present rely for Ortiz is comfortably above the 75-percent threshold for induction.
