<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An entertaining, unfiltered memoir by one of the game's greatest, most clutch sluggers at the end of his career, written with best-selling sports writer and talk show host Michael Holley<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>WITH A NEW AFTERWORD <p/> "Baseball fans of all loyalties will enjoy learning about [Ortiz's] unique experiences in and out of the game." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/> David "Big Papi" Ortiz is a baseball icon and one of the most popular figures ever to play the game. A key part of the Boston Red Sox for fifteen years, Ortiz helped to win three World Series, bringing back a storied franchise from "never wins" to "always wins." He helped upend the doubters, the naysayers, and the nonbelievers, and, as he launched balls into the stands again and again and again, he captured the imagination of millions of fans. Ortiz made Boston and the Red Sox his home, his place of work, and his legacy. As he put it: This is our f*&#ing city. <br> In <i>Papi, </i> his ultimate memoir, Ortiz opens up as never before. The result is a revelatory, fly-on-the-wall story of a career by a player with a lot to say at the end of his time in the game to which he gave so much and which gave so much to him. <p/> "The rise of Ortiz from scrap-heap bench player to Hall of Famer is an unlikely and entertaining story, and engagingly told . . . The memoir lives up to its 'no-holds-barred' billing." --<i>Washington Post</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DAVID ORTIZ is a nine-time major league All-Star and a three-time World Series champion, and was named American League MVP in 2004 and World Series MVP in 2013. <p/> MICHAEL HOLLEY is the best-selling author of <i>Patriot Reign</i> and <i>Red Sox Rule.</i>
