Every Red Sox fan has a favorite David Ortiz home run story – where they were, what they were thinking, how it made them feel.
One particular memory, from former Red Sox assistant Brian Bannister, perfectly encapsulates Ortiz’s unique blend of nonchalance and swagger.
Bannister congratulated Ortiz on his election to the Hall of Fame and then shared his personal favorite – a story that will surprise no one given Ortiz’s style.
1/ David played his final MLB season in 2016 at age 40. Even after 20 years in the big leagues he still worked relentlessly at both his hitting and physical conditioning.
