Through 19 seasons, David Ortiz has consistently produced at the plate, hitting .300 or better six times, crushing 30 or more home runs while driving in more than 100 runs nine times. When Big Papi seemed to be fading with two straight seasons of declining batting average in 2008 and 2009, he responded with an active streak of three straight years of improvement, including a .318 batting average in 2012. Ortiz, a nine-time All Star and six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, was the World Series MVP in 2013, after hitting .688 with two home runs and six RBIs in the Fall Classic against the Cardinals.
