Papi 10 List, No. 2: Papi Strong

In honor of David Ortiz having his No. 34 retired by the Red Sox, MLB.com and John Hancock are celebrating Big Papi's greatest career moments with the "Papi 10 List," counting down one legendary moment each day leading up to Friday's pregame ceremony at Fenway Park.

It will go down as one of the most memorable 57-word speeches in the history of any sporting venue.

When Ortiz grabbed the microphone and addressed his city in such a concise, powerful and salty way on April 20, 2013, he put himself in the pantheon of public figures who have represented Boston.
