MLB players react to David Ortiz's final game
Barring a complete change of mind, David Ortiz has played the final game of his MLB career.
With the Boston Red Sox getting swept by the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS -- losing 4-3 in Game 3 on Monday at Fenway Park -- Big Papi's iconic career comes to a close.
After the game and Ortiz's final salute to Fenway Park, MLB players shared kind words to honor Papi.
“Big Papi is a megastar…He’s done an incredible job with the @RedSox.”- @AROD on @davidortiz. #ThanksPapi #postseason pic.twitter.com/xAoH39Atmv
