(NY Post) — Red Sox slugger David Ortiz’s own brand of hot sauce may put a chill on his plan to crush a $5 million trademark suit filed against him by Jay-Z. Lawyers for the hip-hop mogul yesterday won permission to grill “Big Papi” under oath about his business ties to New York as part of the Manhattan federal court case. Ortiz is being sued here for allegedly ripping off the name of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club for Ortiz’s family-owned nightclub in the Dominican Republic.
