Everyone must be quite surprised when they see this photo! That's right, former Red Sox teammates "Dad" David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were in the same frame. Did Red Sox fans shed tears of the times? Already?

"Dad" and Manny have been teammates in the Red Sox for many years. The two can be said to be the heavy artillery combination of Boston at that time! They both hit the peak of their careers during this period: "Dad" hit 54 home runs in a single season in 2006, and Manny hit 45 home runs in a single season in 2005.
In 2004, the two became the first American League partnership after 1931 to achieve at least 40 home runs, a batting average of at least 30%, and an RBI of at least 100 points!
In 2004, the Red Sox finally broke the Babe Ruth curse and won the World Series championship trophy again. At that time, "Dad" won the American League Championship Game MVP in the playoffs, and Manny won the World Series MVP.
"Dad" and Manny hit back-to-back home runs!
Two people who have such importance to the Red Sox actually took a photo together today. How can the fans tolerate it? ? In addition to attaching the photo, "Dad" also wrote hilariously: Look who is my fitness partner today, full of destructive power!
It’s so great to see this pairing again! How do you feel when you see the group photo?
