The Red Sox legend was transported from Boston’s Logan Airport to Massachusetts General Hospital by ambulance with a police escort. Ortiz had been listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Dominican Republic hospital earlier Monday following surgery for gunshot wounds. Boston Red Sox executives said they sent a team plane to the Dominican Republic to retrieve Ortiz and fly him back to Massachusetts. 'We all remember that in 2013 when we needed David Ortiz the most, he was there for us in late April,' Kennedy said. Ortiz is beloved in the Dominican Republic, where he is well-known for his charity work with children.
