David Ortiz Hits Streets of New York City in Search for Love From New Yorkers

Bostonians know David Ortiz as a fun-loving, easy-going guy who also happens to do a lot of damage with a baseball bat in his hands. New Yorkers, on the other hand, know him only for his work on the field, work that has ended up hurting their beloved Yankees on more than one occasion.

It's no surprise then that when Big Papi is in New York, the reception he gets from Yankees fans isn't exactly receptive.

With the Red Sox in New York this weekend to face the Yankees, Ortiz stopped by the MLB Fan Cave in the heart of the city.

Ortiz explained to MLB superfan Mike O'Hara the lack of love the slugger gets when he comes to the city, so the two decided it was time for Ortiz to get out and search the streets of New York in search of love.

The end result was Big Papi spending an afternoon wrapping up New Yorkers in hugs. You can see the entire video below.
