David Ortiz's playing career came to end on Monday after the Boston Red Sox's heartbreaking loss to the Cleveland Indians in Game 3 of the AL Division Series.
The baseball world -- and some outside of baseball -- took to social media to say thanks to Big Papi.
Ortiz's current and former Red Sox teammates, including several from the 2004 World Series team, spoke of his character as a teammate and his contributions to Boston.
I want to say it was an honor to be your teammate @davidortiz!
