Papi is the Strongest One There Is!!!

Papi is the Strongest One There Is!!!

David Ortiz, who hulked his way through the hated New York Yankees and the hated St. Louis Cardinals, and whom you wouldn't like when he's angry, continues to smash his purple pants way through Japan. Puny Japanese. First Godzilla, and then the Hulk. Irradiated monsters seem to be drawn to Japan.

Ortiz smashed a puny baseball some 514 feet.

Little know fact? Because of little things like an international exchange rate, and time zones, the actual distance that baseball travelled when propelled off the bat of David Ortiz? 720 miles.

"I knew when I hit it that I got all of it," the Boston Red Sox slugger said after the major-league All-Stars beat the Japanese stars 5-3 Saturday night in Game 2 of their series. "I thought for a second that it might land in the Dominican (Republic)."

He exaggerates. It's a few thousand miles from Japan to the Dominican republic, but if you made him angry enough, he could do it.

"It felt like he hit that ball almost twice the length of the stadium," said Chiba Lotte Marines submariner [Shunsuke] Watanabe, who gave up six hits and three runs in five innings of work. "You can't make any mistakes against these guys."

Watanabe has faced a monster. Ortiz Smash!
