As David Ortiz plays through his final Major League season, it would only be fitting for the gregarious slugger to enjoy the spectacle of All-Star festivities one last time.
The 2016 Esurance All-Star ballot is now live, and Big Papi is on the ballot at designated hitter hoping to represent the American League and the Red Sox.
Though the lefty slugger is 40 years old, he continues to perform at a high level. Through the first 16 games, Ortiz has eight doubles, three home runs and a .992 OPS. Ortiz is a nine-time All-Star, first making it on to that stage in 2004.
