What If... the Cardinals Had Kept David Ortiz in Check in 2013?

It was announced earlier this week that David Ortiz would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His post-season heroics are key to his worthiness for the Hall. He was a monster in October. In 18 career playoff series, he posted a .900 OPS or better 10 times, including eight in a row from the 2004 ALDS through the 2007 World Series. As a reader of a site dedicated to the St. Louis Cardinals, you’re likely intimately familiar with Ortiz’s October antics. The Cardinals were the punchline to Ortiz twice, dropping both the 2004 and 2013 World Series to the Red Sox.
