TORONTO -- While most people retire to warmer climates, the Toronto Blue Jays made sure that David Ortiz would be comfortable if he spends some leisure time in Boston or north of the border during the winter.

As has been customary during the Boston Red Sox designated hitter's final season, the Blue Jays presented parting gifts to Ortiz during his final regular-season trip to Rogers Centre. In this case, Big Papi got a big parka. Two of them, in fact.

One is the Expedition Parka -- “standard issue,” according to a press release, for scientists at the South Pole.
