Welcome to David Ortiz week! With the Boston Red Sox set to retire No. 34 at Fenway Park this Friday, we’re dedicating the days leading up to the ceremony to the iconic slugger.
To kick things off, let’s reflect on the staggering numbers that Ortiz produced over his 20 seasons in the big leagues. Not only will he be remembered as one of the greatest hitters in Red Sox history, he’s arguably the best player to fill the designated hitter role on a regular basis in major league history.
That’s no small task.
