First, David Ortiz hit the grand slam that tied Game 2 of the American League Championship Series at 5-5.

After the game, Big Papi talked about the homer. "They know we are a dangerous hitting team."

Encore, en Espanol.

Later, Big Papi (with Papi-to-Be at this side) talked about Torii Hunter. "Torii always scares me."

And, finally, Torii talks about when he 'n' Big Papi were teammates with the Twins. "We [released] him and the Red Sox picked up a gold mine."
