2. Boston Redsox player tries badminton
.."Interestingly, part of the commercial involved
playing some badminton. Let's just say that Ortiz
isn't going to be trading in his big bat for a
racket any time soon.

"Well, you know the thing is, when they hit it to
you, it comes like 150 mph, for real," said Ortiz.
"So they were telling me, 'OK, here it comes,' and
they hit it and I still didn't get it." "..
