Dominican basketball team honors Ortiz with jerseys
Huellas del Siglo, a basketball team in the Dominican Republic, donned custom jerseys in tribute to David Ortiz over the weekend.
The team took the court Sunday wearing a bright orange jersey featuring an image of the Boston Red Sox legend and his "Big Papi" nickname written underneath.

Ortiz was shot and wounded last week when a gunman opened fire outside a nightclub in Santo Domingo. He's expected to make a full recovery.
