Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will receive his share of unique send-offs as he makes his way through his retirement tour, but no farewell present will top the one his former Minnesota Twins teammates gave him during his final trip to the Twin Cities.
Ortiz made his MLB debut with the Twins in 1997 and spent the first six years of his big league career in Minnesota. During his time there, he formed plenty of close bonds with his teammates—bonds that led to hilarious stories. And there is no better time to reflect on the good times than a farewell tour.
