David Ortiz hits mammoth home run to tie Jimmie Foxx on all-time home run list

David Ortiz tied Jimmie Foxx for 18th on the all-time MLB home run list Sunday against the Kansas City Royals.

Playing in his 20th and final season, Ortiz has been clobbering home runs like he were 10 years younger, and he added another with a solo shot to deep left center field in the fourth inning to get Boston on the board. The home run, Ortiz's 534th, was measured at 413 feet.
