Every January, as the Society of Baseball Journalists votes are counted and announced, countless retired Major League Baseball legends wait to receive the important phone call informing them of their selection into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
To enter the Hall of Fame, you have to earn more than 75 percent of the votes of nearly 400 journalists to be a great player. Such a high standard is to be able to screen out the greatest and most memorable players, so that their names and achievements will always be remembered by future generations of baseball players.
From being an ordinary first baseman abandoned by the Twins to becoming one of the Greatest Players of the Red Sox of the 21st century, David Ortiz is not only an important member of the Red Sox to become one of the most outstanding teams of the 21st century, but also to change the way everyone thinks about full-time designated batters.
With 541 home runs in his career, he has been named to 10 Star Games, back number 34, and is a household name in the Boston area, mentioning this number to know who it is, his first candidacy is absolutely deserved, and it also makes him the fifth player in Red Sox history to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the first year.
