The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from capturing the 2024 World Series, and a Boston Red Sox legend didn’t miss his chance to take a shot at the New York Yankees.
Los Angeles went up 3-0 in the series with a 4-2 win Monday night in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. A return to the Bronx didn’t awaken New York’s bats.
Former Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo helped the Yankees get on the scoreboard, but the reaction to the late home run irked David Ortiz.
“I’ll tell you what, you hit home when you talk about the body language,” Ortiz said on the FOX postgame show. “Even when Fat Joe came out, the body language from the fans was like, ‘Damn, what’s going on here?’ Are we in a funeral already? I’ll tell you what, man. Your body language has to be there until the last out. Even when the home run was hit, they weren’t even celebrating. You got to come back with the body language.”
Ortiz knows a thing or two about coming back from a 3-0 deficit, and he expected the Yankees to give it everything they got to try to make World Series history.
