Derby Day
Saturday, July 31, 2010
When the Red Sox returned from their west coast road trip, I heard that David Ortiz was going to be bringing the trophy he earned when he won the All-Star Home Run Derby to his Framingham restaurant, Big Papi’s Grille. He was going to be there in person on Friday morning, and the trophy would be on display all weekend.
I wanted to go on Friday, but an ill-timed flat tire prevented me from getting there. So I dropped by Saturday afternoon instead. They didn’t have any of the prizes or specials that they had advertised going on, maybe because the 4:00 game time was not the most popular for a meal, but I did get to see the trophy displayed on a counter behind the bar.
Big Papi displayed the trophy he won in this year's All-Star Home Run Derby.
I was bummed that I had missed seeing Big Papi himself, but I’ll be keeping my eye out for future appearances at his restaurant.
