Big Papi himself showed up in Weston for a game of backyard Wiffle Ball. Ortiz played with about 30 kids, although he complained that the bat was too light. "I feel like I was hitting the ball with my arm," he told the Globe. It was all for a good cause, though. Several Harvard Business School grads shelled out $30,000 at an auction for Ortiz's time, all of which will be donated to Good Sports Inc., a non-profit based in Dorchester that donates sporting goods for city youths. -- Erica Tochin Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 11:10 AM
