| Papi Holds Court |
File this one under: DUH!
David Ortiz is hitting a
"Boeing" in the World Series (.727), so it's no surprise that
he will again be manning first base in Game Five of the World Series.
David Ross will also get another start—since he is virtually
Jon Lester's personal catcher these days. Ortiz is now ranked as the leading hitter in World Series
history (with a minimum of 10 games played). Ortiz is also now ranked fifth all time in slugging percentage in the Fall Classic (.795), behind only
Barry Bonds,
Willie Aikens,
Amos Otis and
Troy Glaus. And, he delivers a helluva speech. As Ross stated,
"That's why we call him 'Cooperstown.'"
