Boston Red Sox honor David Ortiz with incredible Fenway Park outfield design
After Thursday night's game at Yankee Stadium, the Boston Red Sox will head back home to face the Toronto Blue Jays and finish out the regular season at Fenway Park.
And after clinching the AL East and being guaranteed a league division playoff series, the Red Sox will spend the weekend honoring David Ortiz, their legendary slugger who is expected to retire following the season.
