Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is about to play in his final regular season game at Fenway Park, a place he has called home since 2003.
Ortiz announced this season would be his last earlier this year.
To commemorate his legacy, the Boston grounds crew ingrained Ortiz’s classic pose into Fenway Park’s outfield.

Boston is still hoping they have lots of baseball to play to continue on Ortiz’s career. The Red Sox clinched the American League East Division earlier this week and, according to Vegas Insider, open up as the second-favorites to win the championship, only trailing the Chicago Cubs.
