Derek Jeter then informed Ortiz after Barger left that he left the gift with the panel as he clearly did not want to keep it.
@DerekJeter enjoyed letting @DavidOrtiz know that Addison Barger left behind his "MY DAWG" shirt.
AL East rivalries run deep!
During the Blue Jays press conference after the win, Barger spoke on leaving the shirt behind stating that he did not want a shirt with a Red Sox player on it as he would not wear it.
Addison Barger wasn't taking that shirt
Clearly Barger is a Blue Jay to the core as he would not even accept a gift with a rival team's logo on it from an MLB legend.
The Blue Jays have yet to announce the lineup for tonight but hopefully Barger will make another appearance as he was a big part of last night's win.
