Some day Franklin will ask me about my all-time favorite David Ortiz moment. (I’ve been following Big Papi for two decades; his career ends next month.)
My answer?
September 27, 2016, in one of his final Yankee Stadium appearances, Ortiz comes to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning, two runners on and the Red Sox down by two runs.
And to the delight of the Yankee Stadium faithful…
Ortiz strikes out.
