Justin Verlander, David Ortiz Put Their MLB Memories To The Test In 'Fact Or Splat'

Justin Verlander, David Ortiz Put Their MLB Memories To The Test In 'Fact Or Splat'

Between the two of them, David Ortiz and Justin Verlander have a combined five World Series rings, 20 All-Star appearances and 3,088 games played in MLB.

So, recalling facts about their own illustrious careers shouldn't be too hard for them, right? Their memories were put to the test in a new game called "Fact Or Splat," with some help from Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

The rules are simple: If you get the answer right, you get to drop a fruit on a giant cutout of your opponent's face; if you get it wrong, your opponent gets to drop the fruit.

How did Verlander and Big Papi do? Let's see the results: Jeter gave the hint, "It’s someone that’s in the family." Ortiz immediately knew the answer: former Dominican right-hander Ramon Martinez.

The cake was a direct hit.

Next, it was Verlander’s turn to answer his first question.

Jeter asked, "Who was your first strikeout victim ever in your career?" The recently retired right-hander did not hesitate: "Travis Hafner." It was a fast answer, but Verlander’s toss did not make nearly as impressive contact with Ortiz’s face.

Next up: "Papi, this one’s for you.

Who was your longest-tenured teammate?" Ortiz played 20 years in the majors, 14 of which came in Boston.

It could have been any number of players.

The answer? Dustin Pedroia.

Ortiz’s guess was knuckleballer Tim Wakefield.

Verlander got better on his second toss and made a direct hit on Ortiz’s face.

Verlander looked around and said, "I’m going to go with Derek." The ace nailed it, and down went a pumpkin onto Big Papi’s face.
