David Ortiz wasn’t the only member of his family to take the stage during his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. The former Red Sox slugger’s daughter, Alex Veda Ortiz, also featured prominently in the celebration by singing the national anthem ahead of her father’s ceremony.
The Boston Globe first reported earlier in the week that Veda Ortiz would do the honors before the induction and she did not disappoint. The 21-year-old, who will be a senior at the Berklee College of Music in Boston this fall, delivered a moving rendition of the anthem, making the moment doubly special for the Ortiz family.
