In a world of heroes and villains, Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is all too familiar with both ends of the spectrum.
The 40-year-old veteran, who announced this winter that 2016 will be his final season in baseball, has played with and against dozens of All-Stars since his rookie campaign of 1997, and with Ortiz appearing in what is believed to be his ninth and final All-Star Game, the time has come for many to pick his brain.
Recently, Ortiz was asked by Bleacher Report to assemble an All-Star lineup of his era, of the last 20 seasons, and to one’s surprise, three former Yankees made the cut: shortstop Derek Jeter, reliever Mariano Rivera, and second baseman Robinson Cano.
