David Ortizdefinitely made the right choice by pursuing a career in the MLB. But, hypothetically, if the baseball thing didn't pan out, what would be Ortiz's dream job? In their "What the (Blank)" series, The Players' Tribune asked the 39-year-old slugger to give his response to this question and let's just say that his answer is, um, well, very honest? 

Knowing what we know now, it may be a little unsettling to ever verbally refer to Ortiz as "Big Papi" in public ever again.

Some other interesting responses from the Red Sox first baseman/designated hitter include "I like big butt" being his favorite guilty pleasure song of the moment and if there was ever a movie made about his life, he would want Denzel Washington to play him.
