David Ortiz

 David Americo Ortiz Arias, well-known as 'Big Papa is a Dominican American professional baseball player, also known as the designated hitter with the Boston Red Sox of Major league Baseball. He played with the Minnesota Twins for a few years before joining the Red Sox for good. Due to his size and ability to hit larger than life home runs, he's considered to be the core of the Boston Red Sox's offensive. He is certainly one of one of the most well-known and formidable baseball players across the United States. Ortiz was a kid who was passionate about baseball. His father, a Dominican semi-pro and professional league player, played for many years. Due to his huge physic, he was pushed into basketball in his high school however his love for baseball earned him a contract by the Seattle Mariners who then traded his services to the Minnesota Twins. The talent of Ortiz was soon recognized by Major league Baseball and the Boston Red Sox hired him to play sporadically for them as a pinch hitter. But later, he was given a chance to play a year as the designated hitter and he never looked back following the fact.
