David Ortiz To Join Fox For World Series Coverage

David Ortiz will join Fox for the pre-and-post game analysis during the World Series

I don’t know a whole lot about baseball, but I do know this– after Nomar Garciaparra, I’m pretty sure that David Ortiz is my favorite Red Sox player of all time. I know that dates me; sue me. He’s just so impossible not to like.

According to Red Sox Life, Ortiz will get to do pre-and-post game analysis during the World Series. This makes me supremely happy, since I promised someone I’d watch the Giants win it all (sorry for the bias); now I can watch, and see someone who I love anyway.

The coverage for the first 2 games of the World Series starts tomorrow, and NESN has confirmed that Ortiz will be doing commentary for both games. This should be a refreshing change from some of the other athletes we’ve seen serve as commentators in the past year- if you don’t know what I’m talking about, just do a YouTube search for Landon Donovan during the World Cup. I thought someone had tied him to the chair in order to get him to do the commentary.

It sucks that Ortiz can’t play for another title, but it’s cool that they’re letting him give a bit of player insight into the games. Keep an eye out, starting tomorrow on Fox.
