In what was the first of many
stops on David Ortiz’ farewell tour, the Houston Astros honored Ortiz with a
Stetson cowboy hat in a pregame ceremony.
Astros fans aren’t personally very familiar with Ortiz, as he’s only
started 12 games at Minute Maid Park in his career, since Houston was in the
National League for most of it, but of course they are well aware of his
accomplishments and gave him a nice ovation.
His biggest moment in that park was probably in the 2004 All Star Game
when he hit a home run off of Carl Pavano, to help the AL win that game and
give them home field advantage in the World Series, which, of course, the Red
Sox won that season.
Anyhow after the ceremony, the Red Sox went on to defeat the home team 6-2. Ortiz had a quiet night just reaching base once on a walk.
You can see the entire presentation here.
And if you were at the game and want to get your own Papi Farewell tour shirt, you can order it online here:
