When D’Angelo Ortiz was around 11 years old, he traveled with his father to the Dominican Republic, the country that sculpted one of baseball’s biggest icons.
Ortiz felt the same heat on his forehead that his father felt before winning three World Series in the chilly Boston weather. He walked down the same streets his dad walked before having two streets named after him. He visited the places where his father dreamed about becoming a professional baseball player, dreams that would result in David Ortiz’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
