The previous Boston Red Sox slugger replayed the occasions of that night and the challenges he's looked since to Univision's Tony Dandrades, in a meeting that was posted by the system yesterday. 

"I nearly passed on, man," he stated, with tears in his eyes. "I was in a trance like state. Individuals were censuring me as though I had the right to be slaughtered."

"At the point when the projectile hit me, the principal thing I felt was like a sting. The initial five seconds I thought I was having a bad dream. [Then] a man named Eliezer, who I am appreciative for, he helped me and took me to the emergency clinic," he reviewed. 

"I was feeling something that I had never felt and that was only the inclination of attempting to endure," he included. 

Ortiz, known as Big Papi by fans, was shot June 9 while at a bar in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Specialists state Ortiz was not the planned objective in the shooting - his companion, Sixto David Fernendez, was - yet the projectile still went through his lower back and punctured his digestion tracts and lower organs. 

In the wake of being raced to the medical clinic, Ortiz left escalated consideration on June 22 and returned home in late July. The previous player has been recouping at home with his family from that point forward.
