Big Papi's Secret Exposed: David Ortiz Revealed as 'Googly Eyes' on The Masked Singer
In a shocking twist, the 10-time All-Star slugger was revealed to be none other than baseball legend David Ortiz, also known as "Big Papi," during the premiere episode of Season 14 of The Masked Singer.
For fans who knew him as a key player in Boston Red Sox history, seeing Ortiz don the elaborate full-body costume of 'Googly Eyes' while performing DJ Snake and Lil Jon's hit song "Turn Down for What" was a memorable moment. The host, Nick Cannon, joked that this was one of the biggest stars to ever participate on the show, wearing a costume so massive it required its own workout routine.
When asked about his experience in the elaborate ensemble, Ortiz laughed and said he didn't need to hit the gym after all, comparing it to a "straight up workout." Despite the comedic remarks, the baseball legend expressed that it was an absolute blast. When questioned about pre-performance jitters, Ortiz confidently claimed he could sing the song all day.
Among those predicting Ortiz's identity were panelists Daddy Yankee and Derek Jeter, prompting him to respond with his iconic phrase, "Daaaaaa Yankees lose!"
For fans of Red Sox history, this was a nostalgic moment that would be remembered for years to come.

this is so crazy! I mean David Ortiz as Googly Eyes? That's a whole new level of entertainment! Interesting 
how he managed to sing like no one was watching and still made jokes about it 
I loved the part where Daddy Yankee and Derek Jeter were going on about his identity, that's some good TV right there 
i mean who would have thought big papi would be hiding behind googly eyes lol i loved the reaction from nick cannon and the way david ortiz cracked jokes about not needing a workout routine 
it's awesome that he was so confident on stage, and that lil jon and dj snake's song got him pumped up to perform 
as for me, i'm just happy we got to see a little bit of boston red sox history in the maskedsinger world 
️
he was so funny and awesome on stage!! i loved how he didnt take himself too seriously and just had fun with it 
his fitness routine must have been a joke tho "straight up workout" lol . and that line about da yankees losing was everything 
. But hey, at least the dude had fun with it and didn't have to work out for months to get into character, right? 
The nostalgia factor for Red Sox fans is off the charts though 
. I'm glad he got to show his playful side and have a blast performing as Googly Eyes 
it's crazy how he pulled off that costume without breaking a sweat, like he just casually rocked up in there 
i'm so glad the panelists were right about him being one of the biggest stars to ever do the show, nick cannon joked about it needing its own workout routine lol, but ortiz just laughed it off and said he didn't need to hit the gym 
. I wonder if Jeter was just trolling him with "Daaaaaa Yankees lose!" 
. It's also super cool to see him having so much fun, even if he is a 10-time All-Star and all 
.
. And Ortiz's 'Daaaaaa Yankees lose' 
so i was watching the maskd singer w/ my fam & david ortiz was one of the contestants! 
i mean, big papi is still a legend 4 me but now i feel like i know him better 
but in a good way! i'm curious to see what other costumes he'd wear if he came back next season
