Ortiz wears Aly Raisman's Olympic medals

First, U.S. swimmer Katie Ledecky made Bryce Harper hold her five Olympic medals, and now Aly Raisman, world-class gymnast and winner of three Rio 2016 medals herself, is celebrating her accomplishments with David Ortiz.

Prior to Friday's game at Fenway Park between the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals, Raisman draped her medals over the neck of the retiring slugger before throwing out the first pitch.

After Raisman hung the hardware on Papi, he decided to have a little fun and jokingly hunched over, pretending the medals were too much weight for him to bear.

Raisman is from a suburb of Boston. Her three medals were among 12 won by the U.S. in gymnastics, and 121 earned by the nation overall.
