Ortiz hangs with ex-Twins teammates before nightcap

Nothing says Farewell Tour like hanging out with friends in your old stomping grounds.
Before David Ortiz became one of the game's most feared hitters, the slugger spent six mediocre seasons with the Minnesota Twins from 1997-2002. Although he only belted 10 homers while batting .266/.348/.461 over that span, he made some lifelong friends in that time.
Ahead of Friday's game between the Boston Red Sox and Twins, Ortiz made sure to make time for some old teammates, Torii Hunter and LaTroy Hawkins.

All three were teammates over Ortiz's entire career with the Twins.
