David Ortiz's 500-Home Run Milestone

[Little Star]

There is nothing small about Big Papi.

The smile. The swing. The “bombs.” The strut. The stature. The numbers. The persona. The divide among fans and media over his legacy.

They're all bigger-than-big, even in an era of supersized everything.

Saturday, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz became the 27th major league player to hit 500 career home runs by hitting his second home run of the game off Tampa Bay's Matt Moore. The milestone came off a 2-2 curveball that landed in the right field bleachers. The crowd gave Ortiz a rousing ovation, and his teammates greeted him after he rounded the bases. The solo shot led off the fifth inning and gave Boston an 8-0 lead.
