Sometimes, I think when we call him Papi it is not the familiar ‘father’, but Father, capital F, deity-like. Statistical interlude:
Ortiz has at least one game-ending home run in each of the last five seasons (2002-2006), the longest streak for any player since Fred McGriff hit walkoff homers in each of five straight years from 1993-97 (for the Padres and Braves). [Link]
Time to break out the words of Prince Charles’ favourite. It never gets old. Never.
I heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music do you?

The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
