Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz is preparing for his final season in the big leagues and getting set for a farewell tour around the major leagues. With the start of the baseball season upon us, much attention will be given to Ortiz, and Saturday Night Live was no exception.
Kenan Thompson delivered a solid impression of David Ortiz and clearly has some fun with it during a segment during SNL’s weekly Weekend Update segment. In it we learn what plans Ortiz has for his post-playing career, complete with some potential endorsement deals in his native Dominican Republic.
The reviews of Thompson’s latest portrayal of Ortiz tended to get some mixed reviews on Twitter…
I despise David Ortiz but Kenan's impression of him kills me
Goin' to the David Ortiz well again, eh? It's not that good, man. #SNL
