It only took David Ortiz one pitch to make history.
The superstar slugger for the Boston Red Sox took a massive swing at the first pitch that he saw in the first inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, depositing it over the right field fence to give his team an early lead.
Ortiz’s 30th home run of the season also brought his RBI total to an even 100 for the season, as his two-run blast also drove in Dustin Pedroia. This marks a significant milestone for Big Papi, setting a franchise record with his 10th career 30 home run, 100 RBI campaign.
