Photo of the Day: A fashionable David Ortiz celebrated his birthday with Pedro Martinez

How does one of the greatest slugging DHs in baseball history celebrate his first post-retirement birthday? By hanging out with one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, natch. But what they chose to do may surprise you though. No, there was no star-studded party or private concert from Nobel Prize winner -- they just showed off their fashion sense while spending time outdoors.
Just look at the now-41-year-old David Ortiz's hat! 

Possible topics of conversation at the outdoor picnic: 
- Whether the two should start a band. (Pedro and the Papis sounds pretty good.) 
- If there's a better sandwich than watercress.
- Who has the better spoonerized name: Medro Partinez or Orvid Dartiz?
- The proper way to eat muffins. (Martinez likely said: "One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them.")
