Hollywood Stars and Sports Figures Bid a Sad Farewell to Big Papi

The Boston Red Sox getting knocked out of the post season by the Cleveland Indians on Monday wasn’t the Hollywood ending that fans had hoped for David “Big Papi” Ortiz, but it didn’t quell the outpouring of love for the adored designated hitter.

Ortiz, 40, had his farewell tour at the end of the regular season, and despite the unceremonious end to his 20-year career, he still went out on a high note.

“We want Papi,” fans at Fenway chanted long after the game ended, according to USA Today, even though their 2016 season was cut short after the Indians beat the Sox 4-3 in Game 3 of the American League Division Series to sweep the series.
