Is David Ortiz a Hall Of Famer?
Fun fact: As seen in the video, Ben Affleck and JLo were in attendance for David Ortiz’s first Red Sox home run
Definitely
No questions asked. 2013, he was already a HOF, that year, made him a legend
¡ Definitivamente !
He is my favourite player so yes
Absolutely
I'll never forget back in 2003 at Yankee stadium and how badly he got booed walking to the dugout after an at-bat. I was lucky enough to be fairly close to him watching him absolutely laugh his head off at the booing, and have had a ton of respect for him ever since. Long live BIG PAPI.
That’s awesome!!!!
@@iTalkStudios thts how i felt watching bonds in the bay area
Why would you respect that? He was a PED user/abuser and foul mouth mutt who should be deported ASAP
@@sebastian.p8132 not as cool 😒
Meh they're both steroid users.
"This is our fucking city" is my favorite Ortiz moment by far
I feel genuine love for Papi. He is everything a baseball icon should be and I feel very fortunate to have had the privilege to route for him rather than fear him.
Everything a baseball icon should be. Clutch hitter. Team player. Good to fans. Steroid user. Cheater.
@@krantzbucks yup, sadly everything is on the table with most every player from the era. There is no concrete proof of it but it is possible that those labels apply.
No concrete proof. Failed test.
@@krantzbucks everyone used steroids then it was practically part of the game
@@Johnson-The-IIV such is my point
From a lifelong diehard Yankee fan I have so much love and respect for big papi.. I remember as a kid being at Yankee stadium watching the red Sox take infield practice. I was blessed to have really good seats along the first baseline and I was jokingly booing papi as he took ground balls at first during BP, then suddenly he back handedly snagged a high hop very impressively, He then looked over at me and said " see i should be playing 1st base over Millar" (who was behind him laughing) ever since then I liked papi even as a Yankee fan.
Dude he ruin Derek Jeter day.. 😂😂😂
I personally owe Big Papi for giving me some of the best moments of my young life. From 04 til the end he WAS Boston.
He IS Boston.
'04 sox are holy
I'm a Cardinals fan, and I couldn't believe they kept pitching to him in the '13 WS. He absolutely destroyed Cardinal pitching. I hated to be on the losing side of it, but man was it impressive to see.
He single-handedly won that WS against us.... x.x
yeah, i think he hit over .800 that series. even though wacha winded up losing that last game, the cardinals would not of got that far without him. it was fun. he took a know hitter into the 8th in game 4 against the pirates down 2 games to 1. Wainwright won game 5 as david freeze hit a homerun in it. i remember that post season well.
I'm a Red Sox fan and I was just stunned they were throwing anywhere near the plate when he came up. Throw it ten feet out, ten feet behind him, whatever. I was yelling at the TV a few times because I just couldn't fathom why anyone would pitch to the hottest batter in WS history.
I think we can say he’s had an outstanding career, that will likely get him into the HoF(hopefully), but the best thing he’s done for baseball is his potentially his most famous quote. “Daaaaaaa Yankees lose!”
LOL That Made Me Chuckle
Da Jankies Lose! He has a podcast with Jared Carrabis but it got canceled because Carrabis left Barstool. Any Papi fan check it out. It’s called Call Him Papi
I thought his most famous quote was "This is our f***ing city..."
I was at the game where they retired his number, the speech Pedroia gave actually brought Ortiz to tears and ill never forget seeing him wipe off the tears and say "Damn little man really made me cry"... legendary
I’ll still never forget the greatest hitting performance I’ve ever seen. Ortiz vs that dugout phone. Poor thing didn’t stand a chance
That lil boy Maverick, his reaction when he sees David Ortiz, was priceless. I love when things like that happen
Literally had me in tears when the kid wished him well after he got shot.
@@injectilio currently with tears in my eyes looking for someone else to have said it lol
I met a woman from the DR who was a big Ortiz fan. We probably talked for half an hour about him, and not once did she mention his on-field accomplishments. She spent the whole time describing how his offseasons were spent back home in Santo Domingo setting up a charity network to help get doctors to people who couldn't afford medical care or get themselves to a hospital. You hear about players supporting big charities all the time, but this was a player giving his time -- a thing he has no more of than an average person -- to help his community. It really spoke to his character and reinforced my belief that I'd picked a truly great person to look up to.
This is incredible. Thank you for sharing!
I'm a Seattle Mariners Fan and I remember, in 2015, when the Red Sox came to Seattle. Big Pappi hit one that took about 3 second to hit the window at the Hit It Here Cafe, That was 450 feet at a ballpark where the ball doesn't carry well. He's an incredible person!
I’m so glad he didn’t die. He’s the best
As a none American when i started to watch baseball I didn’t really follow any team, so like any neutral to a sport in another country you will normally gravitate to a great player, And good lord did I tune into watch Big Papi, he definitely turned me into a Red Sox fan ten fold, I absolutely love him, he made me fall in love with the game.
I've met Papi a couple of times. Always down to earth and had a genuine conversation with him on the streets of Seattle as a 12 yo. He's as good a man as he is at breaking Yankee fans hearts 😂
So proud to be a Red Sox fan. Started watching them with my father as a young child in 1999 and have been hooked ever since. David Ortiz helped change the “loser” culture that the Sox had back then. It’s been an incredible ride. Thanks Papi
As a diehard Yankees fan I respect big papi alot he was a great opponent and such a clutch guy. Glad I got to watch him thru my growing up
Wow! Impressive list of real-life anecdotes that surprised even this due-hard Sawx fan, including the lobster story with Pedro and the Cafe Rubio home run call. Well done, great pacing, and hilarious storytelling.
thank you, sir! This means a lot
I do not like the Red Sox whatsoever…. But I am a fan of “Big Poppi”. Great player & seems to be an even better person
It’s “papi”
Being from boston my whole life and being a die hard redsox fan since i was 6, this video literally made me cry. David Ortiz was such a special player he was every kids hero where I grew up. Just him being so happy to be a redsock and absolutely dominating every time we needed him to was just so amazing to see. Sure we love Tom Brady too but Ortiz was the heart and soul of Boston. David Ortiz will forever be a Redsox legend and a Boston hero.
Even though I am a Yankee fan and he always tormented us I have nothing but love for Big Papi. Great player and great human being.
Beautiful video, he's my favorite player, I was at his 2 HR game against the Yankees in his final year. What a guy, what a video. Keep em coming!
He had way too many 2HR games at Yankee stadium 😂😂
Pedro’s picture perfect jerry curl still isn’t getting enough press. That godly greased mane was as filthy as his circle-change.
The J-Curl needs a dedicated wing in Cooperstown.
Great video on one of the most exciting players ever on and off the field. Props to you for making it
Thank you for your support!
Whenever I watch stuff on this like the documentaries it always basically brings me to tears. Remembering this when I was a kid and how everything happened and baseball at that time especially as a Sox fan living in Boston, going to these games was absolutely the golden era of baseball/Sox fandom
Also R.I.P. Jerry Remy! LEGEND!
Edit: Im talking about that 2004 era with the 86 year curse broken, those series with the yankees in 2003 (which was heartbreaking especially watching Tim Wakefield walk off the field because hes a Legend too (He got redemption though). and then the series in 2004 was just legendary (only MLB team to ever come back to win a series down 3-0). The brawl with Jason Varitek shoving his glove into miss a-rods face then don zimmer coming after Pedro so Pedro shoved old donnyboy to the ground (that sh*t was wild)
I was sitting right next to Pesky’s Pole when Manny Ramirez hit that walk off HR in game 2 of the ALDS in 2007 and later won the WS
Also that 2013 playoff run after the bombing and the way Ortiz put the team on his back to win that title was insane! Dude was hitting over .500 in the playoffs/WS with buttload of clutch HRs/Hits/RBI/Runs. The dude hit .688 in the World Series. Let me repeat that...DAVID ORTIZ HIT .688 IN THAT WORLD SERIES
I agree baseball hasnt been the same since the 2000s for me either. That was the greatest time to be a NE sports fan
I’ve loved the Sox forever, even when or especially when we suck. But those moments make it all worth it. Those games were our destiny and we deserved the fairy tale ending.
Also, Mariano smiling and tipping his cap to the Fenway crowd after he got a standing ovation the next year during the ring ceremony was fucking awesome hahaha, great guy
The pure joy in “Maverick’s” voice when Big Papi walked into the batting cage 😢😊
the way you tell these players baseball stories is unparalleled. and if there is someone who's even In the same ballpark as yourself, I have yet to hear them. thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos. I hope you are rewarded properly for your hard work.
The player “literally to be named later” is one of my all time favorites. It was a good day for that sportswriter.
I may be a Yankees fan but I have much respect for Big Papi! He's a damn legend and I hope he's doing well! 🙏
"Ortiz murdered a phone along the way"
I love how casually you said that
That story with Maverick made me so emotional. Great story telling.
Big Papi proves that not all superheroes wear capes.
Loving the Star Wars theme in the background, giving Papi the Galactic vibes he deserves
haha yessirrr
I’m not even a red sox fan but theres a special place in my heart for big papi. A true ambassador for the game
Growing up a Red Sox fan during David ortiz’ career was electric. Even the down years this man RAKED
Diehard Sox fan. I grew up watching him play. He was a hero to my above everyone else except my parents and nonna. I cannot put into words how much he means to me as a Sox fan, a kid from Boston, and as just a guy. I’m so happy he made it in.
Thank you bro. I needed this big papi was one of a kind.
You killed it with this video! So many great clips, you brought back memories. It’s a great homage to one of the best to do it. RED SOX STRONG BABY!
Just found this video, as half Dominican who love baseball and lived 30 mins from Boston. Growing up Ortiz is my favorite player everything he did I idolize him from his love able personality, to wearing a chain, to put index finger in the sky to pay respect in any accomplishments. He has such impact that can’t be describe, I might people who don’t know baseball but know Big Papi as icon. He change the culture how people see hispanic and show the love that can not be beaten. I’m so happy he mad the HOF because he’s definitely a player that will has and will inspire so many more lives, he’s definitely a walking legend.
Yo shout-out for TH-cam for recommending this channel, need some this in my life.
it's still really hard for me to believe that anyone would fire Terry Francona, let alone replace him with the likes of Bobby Valentine. shame on Boston. Great video by the way! there's absolutely no doubt that Mr Ortiz is a special baseball talent and a very special human being!
I give Valentine a pass. The players were 100% to blame when Francona was fired. ("I lost the clubhouse," he said.) Management punished them by hiring Bobby Valentine. He was actually a good manager, but the Old School style (much like Dick Williams), and he didn't tolerate prima donnas.
My favorite moment: Felix Doubront was having his usual issues. Remember him? He had great stuff, and should have been just as good as Pedro Martinez; but he was a total idiot. Doubront would be lights out for three innings, then blow up. One day, he did that, and had a temper tantrum. "The umpire is squeezing me!" (i.e., a tight strike zone) Valentine told him flat out, "The problem here is not the umpire! The problem here is YOU!" I feel sorry for Bobby Valentine. He inherited a team of whiners who quit on Francona (the best manager they ever had), and I don't blame him at all. It was 100% the players' fault.
@@davidlafleche1142 Farrell did right by us in 2013, but was sup-par since the championship. Alex Cora is a hell of a manager.
Between Tito, Farrell, and Alex we’ve been very lucky!
I was a diehard fan of the early 2000’s Evil Empire. I remember watching the 2003 ALCS and that Boone walk off homer. I hated Big Papi because he was just so clutch. But in my aged years I began to respect and admire the man as a talent that we almost missed and am thankful we didn’t, he deserves a Cooperstown plaque and if he doesn’t somehow manage then down with the official HOF…
"Ortiz murdered a phone along the way" is the funniest way to describe I've ever heard
Bro that game tying grand slam was so good. My sis and her husband looked at me like I was insane lmao.
Dave O'Brien's call of that homer off Joaquin Benoit is my second favorite call of all time. 'ITS OVER HIS HEAD! THIS GAME IS TIED! DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ!' I get chills every time I watch that replay. My favorite call of all time is Joe Castiglione's call of the final out in the 2004 World Series. Because of course it is.
My dad met a pitcher when they were in high school in his hometown and got to see him play and he absolutely dominated, he eventually made it to the majors for a few teams, the most notable being the expos, he got to play with Guerrero and pedro and my dad never knew that before so thats pretty awesome, he wasn't the best in the majors throughout his career but he was half decent and didnt completely fail.
If you even get to have a cup of coffee in the big, I consider that a success.
Chris Nabholz?
@@stevenmccart5455 yeah i mean like 5% of minor leaguers get to pitch in the big leagues, and if you have longevity you get paid good money, which he did (baseball reference)

the man is a true baseball hero and champion
I literally became a Red Sox fan when David Ortiz aka Big papi AKA mr. Clutch when he came onto the Red Sox does the greatest 19 years of baseball ever cannot say enough for how clutch. He was so so so so happy to say but I seen him play in person more than 100 times and he was really that good
I'm a lifelong Yankees fan from the 70's and I never thought in my life I would love a Red Sox player. Big Papi, you broke my heart on many nights and many, many years but ......I ❤ Big Papi.
2013 was the first season I watched, fell in love immediately with papi and the rest of the bearded goons. What he did in 2016 was incredible as well , passing the torch to bogaerts, Betts, Bradley, benintendi, holt. He had a big part in them winning in 18
The 2003 and 2004 post seasons were a true emotional roller-coaster. After the Sox won in 04 it essentially ruined sports for me. Nothing could possibly ever top that. Nothing could even come close.
I was raised in New England, and went to my 1st games at fenway in 1975. I was a good father and passed along my love of the Red Sox to my son. I remember in 2004 when they were down 3 to nothing he asked me if I was going to watch the game. "Watch the game?!" I responded that "the Sox had let me down enough in my life and I couldn't do it anymore I was going to clean the garage." Holy shit little did I know they would do the impossible and that I would forever fall in love with Big Papi 👍🏽❤️
Probably one of the most well loved players in baseball of the past 30 years
100% Hall of Famer!! very proud of being a Dominican myself... we should definitely have more Hall of Famers, after all we are arguable the best in baseball :)
As a tigers fan that 2013 recap hurt to watch...Ortiz carried them that series along with that one off Shane Victorino pop fly that barely got over the monster for a grand slam. Our bullpen really blew it
David Ortiz WAS the Red Sox for over a decade. The main had such charisma and presence, and that personality! And he had so many great moments. His hitting in games 4 and 5 of the 04 ALCS will always be remembered. And while people remember him hitting the homer in game 7 I think a lot of people forget the impact it had. Like you said, Damon had just been thrown out at the plate and Yankee Stadium was raucious. Ortiz comes up, nails a 2 run shot into the left field seats and silences 50,000 people in a matter of seconds.
But I think my favorite Ortiz story is this. I was at a sports bar one day, watching the game. I was sitting next to a guy and we got to talking about the team. He mentioned that he and his little boy had gone to New York to see the Yankee/Sox game there. After the game they were on the subway, and his son was in he Ortiz jersey. A guy on the train asked him if he was a big Ortiz fan and the little boy got all excited. "YES! ORTIZ IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER!" The guy on the train smiled at the boy and told him, "Good, he is a great player. We Yankee fans respect and fear him so much that when he comes up to bat against us we don't mention his name." I thought that was a great story because it shows just how much a feared hitter he was.
Big papi was one my favorites growing up. Redsox was my second favorite because of him and so many other great players
No matter how much baseball you watch, you know the guys who play for *your* team in a way that the other fanbases cannot. Unless you live through the grind, the low-stakes games and the losing seasons along with the highlight reel moments and postseason magic. I’m a lifelong Red Sox fan, 38 y/o here in 2024, so I was right there for every second of Big Papi’s time in Boston. Even though, like I said, I can’t speak on other teams’ superstars of that era like I can Papi, Manny, Pedro, Devers, etc, I feel confident in saying that David Ortiz is one of the 3 best players in the past 25 years of MLB. His postseason record speaks for itself, but his day-in, day-out mastery, the electric energy when he stepped up to the plate, and his ability to both inspire his teammates and (if that didn’t work) put them ALL on his back and mash with the strength of 9 men… that is what puts him in that god-tier. Putting aside pitchers, I struggle to think of a post-2000s player who played at quite the same caliber as Big Papi.
Who is the guy from *your* team that belongs in that top 3 of the 21st cent. conversation?
As a yankee fan of love this player such a kind person and great slugger ❤❤
Baseball royalty.....human royalty!
Larry Luchino just makes me think of Pedro saying his name hahahaha
As amazing as what he accomplished on the field was, the Maverick story seals the deal for me. Papi is like a fairytale, and had I not witnessed it firsthand throughout his time here in Boston, I never would have believed it. He wasn't the greatest baseball player to ever live, but he was and is the most beloved player in all of sports history to this Red Sox fan. Forever the man, forever a fan.
Now he is in the hall of fame
Love that the broadcaster asked Ortiz about the nickname big papi. Class act
You have a great channel keep it up hommie
Thank you!!!! Much appreciated
A true Legend.
Papi is without a doubt in the goat conversation
My first ever game at Fenway was in 2016 during his retirement tour. I got to see Papi steal a base and it was the best thing I saw
🥲 shoutout to everyone who grew up watching papi play
BIG PAPI
I love your videos and I also am a fan of big Papi,even tho I already knew his story watching your video still choked me up cause he is a true legend and yes a well deserved hall of famer!
I remember thinking when they signed him, now that he's off artificial turf he is gonna rake. What a legend
As a Yankees fan big papi is the one Red Sox’s player that I can respect
I'll never forget that fucking grand slam in 2013. As a Tigers fan who was in 6th grade when they made it in 2006, I watched Papi murder my franchise's dynasty and any hope they had to win a World Series.
I remember when the Red Sox signed him and people were like "Who?". I told them, "Watch this kid, he's got a major swing". I'm so glad the Sox picked him up. LEGEND.
Thanks for your videos
Thank YOU for making it possible!
Up here in Massachusetts, we truly love our Big Papi. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
and now here he is as a first ballot hall of famer! congrats big papi!
“This is our fucking city” is still my favorite Papi moment
I’ve only been to Fenway once, but I was somehow lucky enough to see a big papi grand slam. That’s a moment I’ll always remember
Imagine being the Mariners and Twins...... wow..... Great job.
Among many other memories, I recall right before he hit that grand slam against the Tigers, I said that I would praise David Ortiz's name for the rest of time. Our father, beloved Large Father
Ortiz HATES wall mounted phones.
One of my all time favorite players
Love Big Papi….! He embraced the city of Boston with a passion….
And talk about CLUTCH..! Too many memories to count of Ortiz hitting walk off HRs or huge Playoff hits. The Tori Hunter falling over the wall Grand Slam gives me chills every time I see it & oh how he crushed the hated Yankees..! The 04 game 4 walk off,…And absolutely destroying the Cards in the 07 series. If the game was close just get Papi to the plate at all cost & more often than not he delivered .! Clutch Clutch Clutch …! Great to see him in the HOF where he belongs …
David was a great hitter, very likeable and even much better respected human being. He was an excellent Designated Hitter meaning 1/2 a ballplayer. That said, as a long baseball fan undeserving of entry into Hall of Fame.
He definitely should be HOF. I’m a Yankees fan, and watched an incredible opponent with awe every time he came to bat. I’ve got a ton of respect for Big Papi, and can qualify that he was one of the most clutch players of my time. Also, I too have murdered a few phones along the way.
Met him at Mohegan Sun a few years ago. Cool as shit
David oritz was my favorite hitter growing up and this story is insane never knew about this story and david ortiz was killing the rays and i hated playing ortiz when he was playing
And his famous quote is this is our bleeping City and no one's going to dictate how we live in our city❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely love love love David Ortiz
Just a beautiful video. Really great. (and this is coming from a Yankee fan, but from someone who respects great Red Sox). Thank you for this clip. MW
Best rivalry in baseball. Could you guys slow the fuck down this year?
As a Twins fan from Fresno Ca, I've waited for this story for 20 years! I've researched it and asked for it and it always eluded me. My entire life local news does not report Twins news et' all. and no one ever gives this explanation when you live so far from the team you love. I'm sure locally in Minnesota there were reports but zero in California.
It didn't help that Ortiz was overrated and really not all that good for the Twins, then blasted into stardom after leaving, but still noone ever gave this report.
So, Thank you.
Great Job! Great Video! ⚾ Big Papi! Great HOF Player!
Clean as A.whistle
The curse of the "Big Papi"
Lifelong Red Sox fan and Ortiz became my life time favorite player. Papi WAS Red Sox and the Red Sox WAS Papi. This is our f$&”ing city.
Great video on the bean town hero.
one of your best video.
