David ‘Big Papi’ Ortiz’s wife has spoken out for the first time since he was shot in the Dominican Republic to say he is ‘resting comfortably’ after surviving a second surgery.
Tiffany Ortiz issued a statement through the Red Sox on Tuesday to thank them for sending a plane to Santo Domingo to bring her 43-year-old husband home.
He was shot on Sunday at Dial bar by a gunman allegedly hired by a drug lord who, it is claimed, suspected Ortiz was having an affair with his wife.
