BOSTON RED SOX AND BIG PAPI GET HATED ON FOR POPPIN' $100K BOTTLE OF ACE OF SPADES CHAMPAGNE

DAVID ORTIZ AKA BIG PAPI

First off congratulations to Major League Baseball's 2013 Champions the Boston Red Sox.  It's was a huge celebration after beating the St. Louis Cardinals at home in six games.  The 'Bean Town Boys' gave a new definition to poppin' bottles.
Normally when teams win a championship and hit the locker room they bring out the I'm ballin' in the club bottles.  Not this team and not this night because out came the baller supreme aka "I AM" the club $100k bottle of Armand de Brignac Nebuchadnezzar champagne affectionately known to Jay Z as "Ace of Spades". 

Yeah, that's right you read correctly ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on a bottle of champagne.  As you know with all success comes scrutiny or as we say in the hood "Hate".  So, I guess when you spray and sip away $100k your going to create some haters being that most Americans don't make that much in two or three years on the job. 

Even worse when your biggest critics namely sports analysts, beat writers (who've never played a sport), ex-athletes (bitter that they didn't make as much as today's athletes), and opportunistic groups (looking for donations to fatten their own pockets) rain on your parade before you have one by instigating questions of insensitivity. 

Don't get me wrong I know the state of affairs in this country today are bleak economically for the average family.  However, being insensitive is highly questionable when you look at all factors involved. 

They stand to make over $100 million in team paraphernalia along with numerous other revenue streams generated by winning the biggest game in the world's second largest sport (soccer is Numero Uno).  In total when the tally is in they're looking at a billion dollars new money.

Math was my favorite class in school so I can easily tell you that 10 million is 1 percent of a billion so 100 thousand is .0001 percent.  With that in mind I'm sure even a hater can understand blowing off one thousandth of a percent to celebrate a come up is reasonable.  

As a working individual if you generated $10,000 in gratuities, bonuses, or over time for the year and got it in one pay check would spending $1 dollar be excessive? 

It's all about perspective and how bigger investments and sacrifice yield bigger rewards.

If it offends you work harder to make more (get ya weight up) or better yet don't watch a celebration that is traditionally etched in stone to pop bottles of champagne that will be wasted.  So, cheers to Big Papi and his band of brothers that busted their ass training all off-season to be able to taste the grapes of a sweet $100k bottle of success.
