Red Sox baseball was dead. when Ted left the game, almost and up until the Yaz years. There was no one that could replace Ted in Boston. No one. Until David hit the stage. This man transformed baseball in New England, more than Ted ever did.
Yawkey created the bullpen for Ted, Ortiz created the Monster Seats!
My dad loved Ted, saw him back in ****ing late 40's. As well as the Pat's in the 60's.
There are two guys that hold a special place in his heart: Tom Brady and David Ortiz.
Larry Bird is mine, and mine alone. However, as there will be only one Bobby Orr, there will only be one David Ortiz!
