The Boston Red Sox honored the career of David Ortiz in a ceremony prior to Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, culminating with his famous No. 34 being retired by the franchise he played with for 14 seasons.
Fittingly, Ortiz would note those numbers in right field at Fenway Park held special significance to him during his playing days.
"Taking batting practice on this field, I was always trying to hit those numbers," Big Papi said, via Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal.
In addition to Ortiz's number getting displayed at Fenway Park forever, many of his former Red Sox teammates took part in the celebration to honor the 10-time All-Star.
