Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this David Ortiz fella. Folks keep talkin’ about him and babies, so I figured I’d chime in. Don’t know much about baseball, ya know, but I hear he’s a big deal, swings that bat real good. But what gets me is how he is with them little tykes.
Seems like every time you turn around, there’s a picture of him holdin’ a baby. Big Papi they call him, more like Big Papa, if you ask me. Just look at them pictures! He holds them babies like they’re made of somethin’ precious, not like some folks who handle ‘em like they’re sacks of potatoes.
I saw this one picture, the other day, this fella Ortiz is holdin’ a tiny baby durin’ the singin’ of that anthem thing. You know, the one they sing before the games start. He’s just standin’ there, all big and strong, and that little baby is nestled right in his arms, lookin’ all peaceful. It warmed my old heart, I tell ya.
- He ain’t just holdin’ any babies, seems like.
- It’s like he’s holdin’ his own grandbabies.
- That kind of love, you can’t fake it.
And it ain’t just a one-time thing neither. I heard tell he’s got a daughter of his own, calls her his “baby girl”. He posts pictures of her, always talkin’ about how much he loves her. A man who loves his own young’uns, that’s a good man in my book. Even saw a sad one where he’s talkin’ about his baby girl who passed. Real heartbreaker, that was. Talkin’ about how smart and beautiful she was. Made me tear up a bit, thinkin’ about my own little ones, all grown up now.
It’s funny, ain’t it? You see these big strong fellas, athletes, they call ‘em, and you think they’re all tough and whatnot. But then you see somethin’ like this, a man holdin’ a baby, and it reminds you they’re just people, same as us. They got hearts, they got families, they got love.
And that Ortiz fella, he ain’t afraid to show it. He ain’t afraid to be gentle, ain’t afraid to be kind. That’s somethin’ to be admired, I reckon. In this world, we need more of that, more kindness, more love, more folks who ain’t afraid to hold a baby and show their soft side.
So yeah, that’s what I think about this David Ortiz and babies thing. He seems like a good egg, this Big Papi fella. A man who loves his family, a man who cares about the little ones. And in my book, that’s more important than any home run he ever hit.
I tell ya, it warms an old lady’s heart to see such things. Makes you think there’s still some good in this world. And maybe, just maybe, that’s somethin’ worth celebratin’ more than any game.
So here’s to David Ortiz, the baby-holdin’ baseball fella. May he keep swingin’ that bat and holdin’ them babies tight. And may we all learn a little somethin’ from him about kindness, love, and the importance of family.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, where’s my tea?
