Papi's final-season journey officially begins
Short Sox: David Ortiz tells David Price that he has his back this year, as the duo looks forward to the upcoming seasonFORT MYERS, Fla. -- At the end of David Ortiz's first Spring Training workout of his final Major League season, the slugger hopped into a golf cart with fellow Red Sox legends Jim Rice and Luis Tiant.
"This is going to be me next year -- chilling," Ortiz said of the ride with two players who have long since retired.
But before Ortiz gets to next year, he will have one final season of memories with the Red Sox, the team he reached stardom with shortly after arriving in 2003.
It didn't take long for Ortiz's arrival to create a buzz around camp.
