Meet Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, destroyer of piñatas belonging to small children.

Well, not actually.

In a new spot for jetBlue, Ortiz, trying to find something to do in retirement, takes a big ’ol baseball bat to several festive, candy-filled figures, leaving kids in shock and awe. This might not be for him.

The veteran DH announced that he will be leaving the game at the conclusion of the season, leaving many, including Saturday Night Live, wondering what will come next.

Big Papi should open up a muffin shop in retirement and sell Papi-seed Muffins.
