Talk about 'jumping the shark'! You know you've become an icon, when you get a large predator named after you.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (apparently a real and reputable organization) has named a 15-foot Great White Shark in honor of
David Ortiz. Here's how the group describes itself on its Facebook page:
"Cape Cod based nonprofit committed to raising public awareness of white sharks." The
carcharodon carcharias has been named
'Big Papi' and its ID# (in case you ever run into him) is:
WS-15-73. Could the "WS" stand for World Series? Honestly, we're afraid to ask. Yikes! To paraphrase
Matt Hooper in
Jaws:
"We got no spit."
