David Ortiz's Funny Instagram Exchange With Son on His Birthday is Perfect
By Michael Luciano
One of the greatest sluggers who ever walked the earth was born on Nov. 18, as former Boston Red Sox legend and future Hall of Famer David Oritz can celebrate turning 44.
His son D'Angelo wished him a happy birthday while razzing him about his "Salsa Sunday" attire. Big Papi promptly put his son in his place, claiming he was "born with swag."

Ortiz aged like a fine wine over his baseball career, as you could have made a legit case he was a top-5 hitter in all of baseball when he hung up his cleats at the age of 40 after leading the AL in RBIs, slugging percentage, and OPS.
In his legendary career, Ortiz made 10 All-Star teams, launched 541 home runs, and was a part of three championship teams in Boston.
3× World Series Champion.

With a combination of swag, charm and fearsome home run power rivaled by few, if any, across his two-decade long career, Big Papi has put together a totally unique resume that will assuredly put him in Cooperstown.
