The davis ortiz retirement tour has been crazy to me

Yeah hes a great player but jesus christ. Hes nothing transcendent

Hes a GREAT hitter but we've had plenty of those throughout time

Idk whole thing seems really forced. Don't hate me. Maybe im not using the best phrasing

hes more than just a player, hes an icon to baseball as a dominican.
 
one of the most well-respected players in our generation. Its as much for David Ortiz the person as it is David Ortiz the player

Thanks to Chipper we're going to see this almost every year now.

And that's not a knock on Chipper, I'm just saying he started this whole "announce this is my last year in March" shtick.

without Ortiz, we are still asking if this is the year for the Red Sox.
 
Also Ortiz is just as deserving of retirement tour as Jeter and Rivera were.

Interesting question: Who's the next player to get the season-long farewell? Pujols?

Im not a porcello fan either
Ive actually never liked him cause he broke in around the time kershaw did and at the same age and he was always talked about and kersh was always disrespected

That sure changed in 2011

He's absolutely not in the same tier
 
When you look at what their image is in the game, he is 100%. Lead the Red Sox to 3 WS. Lead the comeback in 2004. His speech in 2013. His impact on the DR.
 
He has 100% become one of the most iconic players since the 2000s.
