'Stay strong': David Ortiz's defiant declaration in the wake of tragedy still resonates with Boston
""This jersey that we wear today, it doesn't say Red Sox, it says Boston. We want to thank you, Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick, and the whole police department, for the great job they did this past week.""
""More than anyone else in Red Sox history, David Ortiz delivered in the biggest moments. His particular history-changing moments of massive magnitude are a permanent pleasure to revisit.""
David Ortiz is celebrated for his pivotal role in three Red Sox World Championships and his remarkable performances, including a .688 batting average in the 2013 World Series. His memorable moments include delivering walk-off hits during the 2004 ALCS and hitting 54 home runs in the 2006 season. Ortiz's influence extended beyond the field, particularly during a pregame ceremony in April 2013, where he addressed the city after the Boston Marathon bombings, emphasizing unity and gratitude towards local leaders and first responders.
