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.
The Chosen Lions roared!
