David Ortiz has the best ugly sweater: ‘This is our f---ing Christmas’ /

Despite all the records and World Series rings, David Ortiz’s best accomplishment may actually be his profane catchphrase.

When Ortiz took the microphone at Fenway to address the crowd five days after the Boston Marathon bombing and one day after the second attacker was captured, he spoke honestly and extemporaneously. He was so off-the-cuff, in fact, that his last line wasn’t so family friendly: “This is our f---ing city.”

So of course the new ugly Christmas sweater Ortiz is selling features a variation on that exclamation.

The sweaters are for sale on Teespring.com and come in a variety of styles and colors. All proceeds go to Ortiz’s charity, which helps children in Boston and the Dominican Republic who suffer from congenital heart disease.
