I know you aren't a kid but are you old enough to have seen Ted Williams? There is really no way to explain what an incredible hitter he was....best in history on any team and he never had near the protection as Ortiz. It was an event if he struck out. Defensive shift was invented for Williams.
Not knocking Ortiz whose clutch hitting continues to amaze me.
Not arguing that. Williams may have been greatest hitter ever. Ortiz is not Williams in that regard. Williams is among top 10-20 players of all time. Ortiz is not.
But for what he did in Boston, Ortiz is the greatest Red Sox ever. Dont think it is really that debateable. HOFer.
