"A life experience take place on us dropping off one of my kids at college..... good luck with everything and remember " to be great you have to bring the best out of you everyday" lov you....mom & dad!!!," Ortiz captioned the photo.
Ortiz and his wife, Tiffany, were on hand to move their daughter, Alex, in to the Berklee College of Music for her freshman year.
-- It was also reported on Sunday Ortiz has hired former Boston police commissioner Ed Davis to investigate the shooting and find out why he was shot.
"He's damn interested in finding out what really happened,'' Ortiz's spokesman Joe Baerlein said about the retired Red Sox star.
Baerlein said Ortiz has not spoken to Dominican law enforcement since an initial bedside interview following his emergency surgery at a hospital in Santo Domingo.
Dominican police have claimed Ortiz was not the intended target of the shooting.
