My favorite will always be Sammy Sosa racing in from right field when Mark McGwire hit #62, to congratulate him and give him a hug. They were locked in one of the craziest battles in baseball history, chasing the record together, in the same division, playing against each other all year but they always respected each other and carried themselves with dignity. Talk about steroids if you want, that's fair, but those 2 guys really understood how heavy what they were doing was.

It's alright though, just love what he did. He wouldn't have had it any other way, he spent decades in the sport he loved. I'm sure him and his family have no regrets.

Yea he got to 3,000 quick, I wouldn't say he had a lot left in him, but he was pretty young compared to most other players that get there. That's typically your last hoorah, when you're kinda limping towards the finish line.

Love em or hate em, no team in American sports has more history. That's why so many people hate them.

He was the best pitcher of all time that only threw one pitch. Not literally 100% of the time, he would throw a 2 seamer or a slider once in a blue moon just to keep the hitters honest, but he probably threw 95% cutters or even more.

@NandoA130 I felt the same about Yogi Berra, that was my dude. But at the same time you gotta be more happy than sad, he won 10 World Series, he played with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, he coached World Series teams, he caught the only perfect game in World Series history, he was loved by absolutely everyone who ever wore a uniform with him and was so big even beyond baseball. I think he did alright for himself, his family can rest easy knowing he loved every second of it.

I'm a Yankees fan, and as tense and vicious as the rivalry is, there's also a part of you that loves the Redsox and Redsox fans, because that's such a big part of what makes being a Yankees fan so fun. If I randomly saw David Ortiz walking down the street I would probably give him a hug, lol, like dude you suck, but I love you🤣 I think he would get that without me even having to explain further.

@MKF30 he pretty much exclusively threw the cutter. It was pretty rare when he threw anything else, to the point where the commentators would always be surprised, like ok there's a 2 seamer. That's weird🤣

He's not even left handed, and he's not even a power hitter. That was one of his only homers in the season. If that's not proof the baseball Gods are real, I don't know what is.
