David Ortiz aka Big Papi used his 40th birthday to announce that the 2016 would be his last. We had seen plenty of MLB Retirement Tours at that point, but this one was going to be special. Once the David Ortiz Final Season aka the David Ortiz retirement tour took off, so did his performance. That season, we saw a plethora of David Ortiz 2016 highlights. It was arguably the MLB best final season ever.
2016 turned into the Big Papi last season show, and with it came the exchange of many gifts. But in this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I argue that the greatest gift of all was simply Ortiz's production. David Ortiz put down an incredible "old man" season, specifically the age of 40. That's right, 40 year old David Ortiz came through with a huge performance.
The 2016 Red Sox ended up making the playoffs, but lost to the Cleveland Indians in 3 games. Still, it set up for an emotional David Ortiz farewell at Fenway. That's still storybook in my eyes.
Another thing I speak about is the David Ortiz Twins years. Yes, before he starred in Boston, it was all about the Big Papi Minnesota days.
Enjoy!
