The famous quote came from an emotional postgame interview with David Ortiz in 2014, after tensions escalated between him and pitcher David Price. Earlier, Ortiz had hit two home runs off Price in the playoffs, and when the new season began, Price hit Ortiz with a pitch—something Ortiz clearly took personally.  In the interview, Ortiz didn’t hold back. He defended himself and called out Price’s reaction, delivering the now-iconic line: “If you’re mad because I take you deep twice… I got almost 500 homers… that’s part of the game son.” He was essentially saying that giving up home runs is normal in baseball, and pitchers shouldn’t retaliate just because they got beat. The moment became memorable not just for the quote, but for Ortiz’s intensity and confidence. - follow ( slugger.report ) for insane baseball content - 🎥 : (burner.edit/TT ) - #baseball #mlb #baseballplays #davidortiz #homers
