Thanks Mr. Ortiz

It was David Ortiz’s last game last night which is super depressing. The first Red Sox game I ever went to Papi hit a walk off homerun. I will never forget that home run. The crowd went absolutely nuts, borderline hysteria. I was also at the game where Papi gave his speech after the marathon bombing. We were sitting front row of the bleachers and all my cousins and Aunts and Uncles were there. The bleachers are my favorite place to sit at Fenway, it gets crazy. But anyway back to Ortiz. The man has been with the Red Sox for over thirteen years, that’s the majority of my life. That's the reason it is so sad that he is retiring. It sort of marks the end of childhood in a sense. By the next baseball season I will be almost 18 and it will be the first year Ortiz won’t be there. I remember my dad telling me about Carlton Fisk’s walk off home run, he was there at game 6. But for me I will be telling my kids about that walk off home run Ortiz hit at my first game. Ortiz is the man and he will be truly missed. Thanks for the memories.
