Not every day do you see a baseball legend and a stock car champion collide—figuratively, of course. But when David Ortiz, the Red Sox titan, and Brad Keselowski, the NASCAR speedster, found themselves in the same orbit, sparks flew. A moment so unexpected, it had fans wondering if Big Papi was about to trade home runs for horsepower.
David Ortiz has made some big appearances in other sports after baseball. In his recent appearance, Ortiz was seen with NASCAR legend and world champion Brad Keselowski. This meetup was a clash of two worlds. Brad Keselowski posted on his X handle of him and “Big Papi” David Ortiz standing in front of his car. He wrote a caption for that saying, “NASCAR BASEBALL Showed my guy @davidortiz around Homestead this morning.”
And by the looks on their faces, we can tell that they enjoyed their time together. But this is not the first time David Ortiz has made such big appearances. We have seen him at the helm of some major events like the Boston Marathon and Celebrity Golf Classic.

In the Boston Marathon that was held in 2023, Ortiz served as the Grand Marshal. He led the race from Hopkinton to Boston and was very happy to do it. When asked about this, he said, “When I got the news about being the Grand Marshal, it was a surprise, but it was an honor.”
He also hosts an annual charity event that attracts big celebrities and sportsmen. All the money collected from this charity event goes to his own charity called David Ortiz Children’s Fund. Ortiz isn’t just a baseball icon; he’s a certified crossover superstar. Whether it’s marathons, charity events, or now rubbing elbows with NASCAR royalty, Big Papi knows how to make an entrance. At this rate, don’t be surprised if he’s calling the shots at the Daytona 500—or better yet, taking the wheel himself.

David Ortiz has never been one to shy away from making bold moves—whether crushing fastballs or shaking up his personal life. The Red Sox legend, known for his larger-than-life presence, just dropped a bombshell that has fans buzzing. And if you thought Big Papi only made headlines on the field, think again. Ortiz has started a new chapter of his life and has all the fans happy for him. He set social media ablaze after announcing that he is engaged to his longtime partner, Maria Yeribel.
The Boston Red Sox also celebrated this win with an X post captioned “David Ortiz is getting hitched to his girlfriend, congrats, Papi!” They are not only engaged, but they also welcomed a baby in 2024. This further solidified their bond and grew the family of David Ortiz and Maria Yeribel. With a ring on her finger and a baby in their arms, David Ortiz isn’t just winning at life—he’s batting a thousand.
From home runs to happily ever after, Big Papi proves that his legacy isn’t just about baseball. At this rate, don’t be shocked if the wedding has a seventh-inning stretch.
