Pic of the Week

Representing the Seattle Mariners in a pregame ceremony
honoring the retiring David Ortiz were fellow Dominicans
Nelson Cruz, Felix Hernandez and Robinson Cano.

David Ortiz, as we know, is not merely playing one final season this year, but collecting loot from opposing teams as parting gifts.

The Mariners this week gave him some things that made sense -- his first professional contract, signed as David Arias. Thirty-four pounds of salmon (34 for his uniform number, and salmon because, you know, Seattle).

But the Flavor Flav homage ... I don't get it myself.
