Die hard Yankees fan and I have nothing but the utmost respect for Big Papi. It meant a lot to see Boston honoring Mo and Jeter when they retired and I was glad to see New York to the same for Ortiz. My hat is off for Ortiz for everything he is as a player for what he does on the field and all he does off of it. A great man and a real hero to the city of Boston. The Sox-Yankees rivalry won't be the same without great players like Ortiz and Jeter on both sides and I can only hope we see new players and faces fill the void. But no body can replace Ortiz. I will miss him and wish him nothing but the best in his retirement
