He was an integral part of helping Boston break the"Curse of the Bambino" and win their first World Series title in 2004 — the organization’s first since 1918. Boston also won it in 2007 and 2013. Ortiz was the 2013 World Series MVP.
After it appeared he had been an outcast by the Twins, Ortiz ended up playing 14 more years in Boston. He finished his career with 541 home runs, a .286 batting average and a .931 OPS. He would become one of the most fearsome hitters in baseball whether it was the regular season or the postseason. "We have some incredible memories. When I think about Boston, I definitely think about 2004, 2007, and of course 2013, after the city was shaken by a marathon bombing. I have never seen a community bounce back and reunite like Boston," he said.
