FORT MYERS, Fla. — David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez let it fly Friday.
Ortiz and Ramirez took batting practice together alongside Pablo Sandoval, Shane Victorino and Xander Bogaerts on Field 3 at JetBlue Park. The sluggers crushed several long balls during the session, which drew a nice ovation from the crowd assembled at the Boston Red Sox spring training complex.
Ortiz and Ramirez ended BP with back-to-back homers — something Red Sox fans hope to see this season — to the crowd’s delight. It’s the second time this week Ramirez ended BP with a blast.
