David Ortiz has been hailed as one of the most important players in recent Red Sox history, and now he’s up for a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame to cement that claim.
The former player, who has been beloved by Boston baseball fans over the course of his career, is up for the honor for the first time since he retired in 2016 and it looks like votes may trend in his favor.
After carrying the team to their first title in nearly a century in 2004, it’s hard to argue with his legendary status.
