ST. LOUIS - The name of the game is winning. David Ortiz is a two-time world champion with the Boston Red Sox and will do no worse than to come within a single victory of a third title. He has been a key contributor to each. What Ortiz is doing in this World Series is, lets not mince words here, bordering on the insane. With a three-hit performance in four at-bats in the Red Sox 3-1, Game Five win over the Cardinals, Big Papi is now 11-for-15 in the series. Hes hit two home runs, driven in six runs and walked four times. Thats a .733 batting average. His 2013 World Series OPS is – gulp – 2.114. Its time to acknowledge a simple fact. There are players who were Red Sox for longer, guys with better numbers, but Ortiz should be considered amongst the best to ever put on Bostons jersey. “Davids just, hes just, hes David Ortiz,” said catcher David Ross, whos RBI double in the seventh broke a 1-1 tie. “The guy is a postseason stud and a stud in general. Like I said in my interview the other day, thats why we call him ‘Cooperstown, because he does Hall of Fame stuff.” In 13 career World Series games, Ortiz has hit .465/.536/.791. The OPS is 1.327, worth posting because its so impressive. The .465 batting average is the highest for any World Series performer with at least 50 plate appearances. He has reached base in every World Series game in which hes played. Only Derek Jeter has more World Series extra-base hits among active players. “Hes having a great series,” said Red Sox manager John Farrell. “The one thing we wont do is get too far ahead of ourselves, whether thats what we achieve collectively or what any individuals performance suggests. But hes in a really good place, obviously.” Yes, obviously. Ortiz is signed through next season. He will turn 38 on November 18. Hes showing no signs of slowing down. In 11 seasons with the Red Sox, Ortizs slash line sits at .292/.390/.572. Hes hit 373 home runs in a Boston uniform, 58 more if his early days with the Twins are factored in. For his career, Minnesota included, Ortiz has 2,023 career regular season hits. The fact Ortiz is a designated hitter shouldnt be held against him. The position was established in the American League in 1973 and is therefore legitimate. He has shown, when interleague or World Series play has required it, an ability to play a competent first base. Ultimately, Ortiz will be remembered for the moments hes authored in October. More so, he should be thought of for the number of rings on his fingers and for his contributions to those championships. Right now, Papis got two rings. One more win in this series and hell have a third. The legacy is being cemented. Cheap Raiders Jerseys .
