There’s nothing David Ortiz enjoyed more during his career with the Boston Red Sox than beating the New York Yankees.
Ortiz’s heroics in the 2004 ALCS stands out as the Red Sox completed a masterful comeback. The Hall of Famer went on to hit .303 with 53 home runs in 243 games against the Yankees.
That enjoyment still comes as a TV analyst with FOX Sports after his playing days.
The Yankees suffered a brutal late-game loss to the Orioles on Sunday that allowed Baltimore to re-gain a one-game lead in the American League East. While joined on set at All-Star media day by Orioles phenoms Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, the Red Sox legend took time to dunk on his rivals yet again.

“I watched the Yankees lose,” Ortiz told the duo on the FOX Sports broadcast. “Nothing made me more happy than that.”
As he has several times before since the group joined together at the network, the Red Sox legend had plenty of fun at the expense of his TV teammates in former Yankees champions Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
The Red Sox, Orioles and Yankees combined for 11 total All-Stars in solid starts for all the teams. That trio will set the pace in a race to the postseason when the second half begins on Friday.
