The Orioles gave David Ortiz the dugout phone he smashed

As the David Ortiz Retirement Tour has made its way across the country, Big Papi has been the recipient of many a gift. The White Sox gave him a well-stocked humidor made by Ron Kittle, the Giants a bell from a cable car. Between the Astros and the Rangers he got a full-on Cowboy outfit, and his only former team gave him a big jar of peanut butter handed off by his old teammates.

If there’s a contest, though, the Orioles have absolutely won it.
