New York Yankees Fans Should Absolutely Give David Ortiz a Standing Ovation in Final Game

The same David Ortiz who was Manny Ramirez‘ evil twin when the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry was at its pinnacle. The same David Ortiz who broke the heart of the entire New York Yankees fan base during the historic 2004 ALCS comeback to lift the curse of the ‘Great Bambino’. The same ‘Big Papi’ who owns a career .306 batting average with 47 home runs, 158 RBI and a .960 OPS (not including 2016) against the Yankees. And the same David Ortiz who watched his very own Boston Red Sox honor Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera during their final games at Fenway Park.
