Orioles gift David Ortiz the dugout phone he smashed in 2013

With David Ortiz playing the final game of his career at Camden Yards on Thursday, the Baltimore Orioles thought it funny to gift the Boston Red Sox slugger with the dugout phone he smashed in a game on July 27, 2013.

The Orioles’ Adam Jones presented Ortiz with the phone in a special ceremony prior to the game to pay tribute to Big Papi, who is retiring after this season.

In addition to the phone, the Orioles were also kind enough to make a donation in Ortiz’s name.

Ortiz has gotten a lot of retirement gifts on his farewell tour, but this is simply one of the best. Funny and thoughtful.
