David Ortiz challenges Licey fans with $1 Million bet

Former baseball star David Ortiz stirred excitement ahead of the decisive game between Leones del Escogido and Tigres del Licey by challenging Licey fans to a US$1 million bet. Confident in the Leones’ chances of victory, Ortiz shared his bold wager in a video posted on social media.

In the video, Ortiz humorously calls out Licey supporters, saying, “Money isn’t for gambling, but there are some guys who were provoking me. I have a million dollars—do you have the courage? Licey fans, hit me up if you’re ready to bet!” He ends the clip with a laugh and a drink, doubling down on his playful challenge.

The high-stakes banter comes as anticipation peaks for tonight’s seventh and final game of the grand final between the Leones and Tigres, where the championship title is on the line.
