Ortiz lodges ball in Pesky Pole at batting practice

If you didn't already know, David Ortiz is a bad, bad man.

The iconic Boston Red Sox slugger may be retiring at season's end, but Big Papi is still swinging the bat with a fury. He's crushing baseballs so well, in fact, that he managed to lodge a batting practice home run right into Fenway Park's Pesky Pole:

Better than Ortiz's impressive feat, though, was how he described it to reporters afterward.

"You're only going to see a bad (expletive) like me doing that," Ortiz told Masslive.com's Jen McCaffrey. "You have to hit the (expletive) out of the ball for that (expletive) to happen."

That baseball will never be the same.
