David Ortiz attends World Series game with Kevin Youkilis, says he’s keeping it a secret who he’s rooting for
"I got boys on both of the teams."
David Ortiz seems to be enjoying retirement.
The Red Sox slugger was at Wrigley Field on Saturday night, taking in Game 4 of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians with former teammate Kevin Youkilis.
“A lot of memories of this beautiful stadium,” Ortiz said of Chicago’s historic homefield, where he made his major-league debut in 1997 (Wrigley was not, as Ortiz wrote on Facebook, the site of his first home run, which occurred in Texas).

But who was Big Papi rooting for? He won’t say.
“I’m gonna keep it as a secret who I’m cheering for, because I got boys on both of the teams,” Ortiz said in a Facebook video posted before the game.
Indeed, there are a lot of former Red Sox players and personnel now with the Cubs and Indians.
Youkilis, however, had no qualms about hinting who he was rooting for, concluding an Instagram post with “#GoCubsGo.”

While at Wrigley, Ortiz also apparently bumped into actor Cuba Gooding Jr.

Just another one of his boys.
