Is there any doubt the "unnamed all star" isn't David Ortiz?

Don't think Barry would have been relevant to anyone by this time.

It is most likely Ortiz in my mind and I would also assume the reason he managed to go "unnamed" is because they work together now.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard David Ortiz called "classy"... I guess, relative to A-rod, he is, but that's not saying much...

A lot of revisionist history going around, after Ortiz was nearly murdered by a Drug Cartel.

As a side note, I'm wondering when the shoe falls on the NBA's massive doping scandal. It's pretty much been unspoken about, how much of a problem PED's are in that league. Derrick Rose has even been on the record about it. Also considering the NBA has the laxest policy out of the big 4 when it comes to drug testing.

What did Rose say? I'd be interested to read that.

He lived a few houses down from me when I was a first-year in law school. This was 2005, so his legend was already cemented. He spent a fair bit of time in his yard, and I had to resist the urge to be this creepy guy:
