David Ortiz honored in pregame ceremony at Yankee Stadium 

Jacoby Ellsbury pulled six muscles when he handed Ortiz the book

Even as a Yankee fan I respect the heck out of David Ortiz

I love how Sox and Yankee fans celebrate each other's greats when they retire.

From a life long Yankee fan, I wish you well Big Papi during your retirement. I tip my cap to you in respect for all you have done for baseball and the city of Boston.

Huge Yankees fan here! most of all a baseball fan. Wish you and your family the best..... Ortiz!

Much Respect to New York for honoring a Boston Legend.

Yankee Fan For Life Get Well Soon Big Papi

That painting is incredible!

I will give the same great respect to David Ortiz that I gave to longtime Yankee Derek Jeter, both destined for the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY! David although I've always been a lifelong Orioles fan and a rival to the Red Sox, you've been an inspiration to so many people, myself included, you've shown how competitive the game can be, and you've been an outstanding player right up to the end of your career, I speak for all Orioles fans when I say thank you for all you've done for baseball, and you'll always be welcome here in Baltimore, God bless you!

As a lifelong Yankees fan, I have no qualms with admiring Ortiz both as a player and a person. Guy was one of the best pure hitters of his generation and an amazing ambassador for the sport of baseball. Easily a first-ballot Hall of Fame’er in my book. Nothing but respect for this man.

Best rivalry in all of baseball. I’m a Yankees fan but loved David Ortiz and respected what he’s done with the organization and the city of Boston. Even the pinestripe fans got tearful when he retired.

things will never be same without u, David 😢

Im a Yankee fan but all respect for Big Papi - David Ortiz

There's one thing Bostonians and New Yorkers can all find common ground in, our hatred of Philly sports teams.

Very classy from the organization of New York Yankees. My respect to them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The Yankees PA announcer sounds like Barney

As a Yankees fan I wish nothing but the best for David Ortiz and his family.

As a lifelong Yanks fan... I’ve always loved Papi. Such an awesome guy, and his talent is sorely missed.

I am not a Red Sox fan, but I have the utmost respect for David Ortiz. When I return to Cooperstown in the future, I know I will see his plaque.

I’m a big Yankees fan but I like David Ortiz. He was a great hitter and seemed like a good guy. Happy Retirement

Man, David Ortiz, what a career. An amazing player on the field, an amazing person off it. #ThanksPapi

Loved to see my people applaud for such a fcking LEGEND. This man made us cry, made us laugh, but most of all made us stand back in awe and respect!!! Thank you for all you've done not only for the rivalry of NY vs BO, but also for our native countries the Dominican Republic. ✊🏽🙏🏽🇩🇴 'THIS IS OUR FCKING CITY'

David Ortiz was my only Boston Player I enjoyed watching. "BIG PAPI," will always be remembered. "Boston Strong!"

I like to see mutual respect from age old rivals. That's the deal ya know? Yes Boston Vs. New York rivalry will never die, but respect the greats! Both cities have gone out of their way to do that, And I like that.

thank you for the work

I’m a Yankees fan, and have always loved David Ortiz! Class act, so much respect for him!

Yankee fan born in the Bronx and from Dominican heritage I love David Ortiz.

Putting the rivalry aside, I am a Yankees fan and I think big papi is one of the best to play the game... I tip my cap to #34...

Congrats, Big Papi!

Waooo 😢😢😢❤️🇩🇴👍 I love ❤️ New York

I TOTALLY agree with "Sideshow Bob." This honor the Yankees bestowed upon David Ortiz was one of the classiest, if not the classiest tribute I have ever seen in my whole entire life. I never got to see this tribute until just now and am not too proud to say that it got this Boston Red Sox fan a bit teary-eyed because of just how wonderfully done it was. I give TOTAL props to the YESNetwork for having still having it on its RU-vid channel even though it was not about a Red Sox player. This video clip gets a GREAT, BIG, HUMONGOUS "thumb's up" from me!!! Thanks EVER SO MUCH for having it, YesNetwork!!! This Red Sox fan GREATLY appreciates it!!!

Greatest to ever do it . Yankees know . 🙏🏾🇩🇴

These are great moments between rivals. You play hard but show respect.

Was hard watching him at bat when the game is on the line. Truly feared hitter. Much respect

Yankees fans who are real baseball fans have the utmost respect for big papi

Love this man.

Mo show love to David Ortiz and both are missed in baseball

*WELL DESERVED!* #LEGEND

Yankees all the way!! BUT!!! David Ortiz is someone I always loved to watch play, especially against the Yankees. Big respect what a player! Miss the early 2000’s

My all time favorite player

El mejor david ortiz pronto te veresmos en el salon de la famas muchas bendiciones parati.

My god players like him and Mariano and meter just made baseball better all around still Miss these guys today

This is why baseball will be a true game around sportsmanship. No matter how great a rivalry may be, or how much fans always go at each other, we are united as fans of the sport.

el mejor David ortiz

Respect is earned on and off the field 🙏🙏🙏34

Love Ortiz,,,,signed....Yankee fan since 76

Aficionado Yankee para toda la vida, pero siempre recordaré y admirare al gran David Ortiz. Gracias por todo, Big Papi.

As a Yankees fan, I wanna say congrats to Big Papi on a wonderful career. Rivalries can be loving, too. Whoever boos him is just a disgrace. Yankees players respect him too. He is a wonderful guy with a loving heart. I wish you the best of luck and respect for the rest of your life.

Red Sox nation was amazing to Jeter David deserved this

Came here saying always respected David Ortiz as a Yankees fan. Get well soon!

As a Yankee fan I respect this man. Phenomenal player!

el mejor de todo los tiempo

It's like Priam said in Troy, "even enemies can show each other respect"

Sheesh this still gives me chills.

two rival teams coming together awsomr

Salute to David Ortiz.

Living legend

Wow how could u dislike someone this video he's such a nice guy

Big papiiiii yanks love u bro bro

CLASS

Respect

Thumbs up to Ortiz and the classy Yankees franchise👍👍👍

Nuestros Dios te vendigas David🙏🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A living legend.

If the Red Sox and Yankees can get along for as least one day like they did in the 1940s with Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, they should do the same in the 2010s which they did. The Red Sox respected Mo and Derek Jeter and the Yankees honored David Ortiz.

Big papi is a beast 💪💪💪 💪💪 💪💪 he is legend we will always remmember 34

ningun pais de potencia sabe todo lo que tiene que mal pasar un latino para alcanzar sus sueños para llegar a grandes ligas para ayudar a la familia y al projimo..

David ortiz siempre va a ser recordado como una gran leyenda en MEDIA ROJAS DE BOSTON

As a yanks fan I respect the hell out of him

Ese es mi ídolo David

Thats f***ing respect! He was truly a monster.. guy deserves to be sent off to his last game at a legendary rivals field. Gotta love baseball!

Una verdadera joya.

Respect to Red Sox. As a 3rd Generation NY born Yankees fan, I know we aren't all perfect, but some of us are.. respect. You gave Jeter a great ceremony, we can't match that but we can show we care too.

Very few outside the yanks get our respect. Congrats on a great career

I am a Yankees fan but PAPi was one of my favorite players well deserved

Thanks Ortiz

Class act by the Yankees and their fans

As much as i hated the Yankees from when i was a kid going to games in the 70's until now i love the players. Yes i was at Bucky Dent game 1978. My brother got me out of school, didnt tell my mother and he, a friend of his and i went early to Fenway, stood in line for hours and got bleacher seats. I still remember Yaz pop out to end hopes. Years later i still despise yet cherish Yankee players, still have their playing cards ( my younger family members beg for my collection, in fun) and i respect the rivalry.

See this is what baseball is all about. Ortiz will be in the minds of Yankee fans forever because of ‘04 but they still applaud him for his career. Amazing to see

Me súper encanta.👍👍👍👍👍

As a red sox fan ... that's classy! Thank you .

Love ortiz very noce guy hated him at bat against us back then so dangerous lol ... respect ✊🏾

I remember when the Astros threw a combined no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, with 6 pitchers.. The Boss had 6 bottles of champagne chilling at each pitcher’s locker when the game ended.. The Yankees have always been a class organization..

As a Jays fan, I've always had tremendous amounts of respect for Ortiz, as well Jeter and Mo, Can't hate greatness.

As a lifelong Red Sox fan this brought me to tears. Well done. Yankees. Well done.

We miss you big papi

Grande Big Papi y la Republica Dominicana

That is a phenomenal painting

Love seeing great players get the respect they've earned, from the fans of their biggest rival. Then on top of that to have Mariano help honor Dave was awesome to see. Very much like the love Boston showed Jeter in his last game in Boston.

As a Yankees fan, I miss watching Ortiz play. He had the fire and such power and it’s crazy how much of an amazing player he is

2017?

That’s why I love baseball. When a player retires the teams honour the guy

He's a class act

No basta con ser un gran pelotero, es suficiente con ser un gran ser humano. Gracias David Ortiz.

You know you’re a legend when the Yankees send you off in celebration. Big Papi has always been a standup guy.

I miss Ortiz

IM A YANKEE FOR LIFE BUT A RESPECTFUL LOVING FAN OF BIG PAPI DAVID ORTIZ !! CONGRATULATIONS DAVID ON YOUR RECENT INTRODUCTION INTO THE HALL OF FAME. 👏

class act

Can’t have a rivalry without domination from both sides. Ortiz will always be one of the most respected Yankees players in rivalry history

He’s a class act.
