In a hair-raising tribute that remains ingrained in the city's memory, the Red Sox designated hitter paid tribute to the victims and survivors of an event that will live on in history, that being the Boston Marathon bombings.
Now, throughĀ Mark Wahlberg's upcoming filmĀ Patriots Day, Big Papi's speech will be immortalizedāauthentically.
According to the Hollywood Reporter'sĀ Tatiana Siegel, Wahlberg recruited Ortiz to re-enact his unforgettable addressāone so powerful, it prompted the FCC to pardon the use of the F-bombāand despite his packed schedule, the soon-to-retire slugger won't miss the opportunity.
But before Ortiz attempts to recapture the emotion of that moment, be sure to relive the original chill-inducing speech.
