Maybe if the Twins had put him at DH more often he would have been healthier, but then again, money is always an issue with this club. Ortiz has also complained about the way they managed him.Crocodilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730908555653542063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-32238627604115213982022-01-23T11:20:30.795-08:002022-01-23T11:20:30.795-08:00RIP to Louie.

And while I don't really prioritize autographs on my cards, I do like some of these, especially the old Twins ones! As for Papi in the Hall, I have always been an old, crotchety guy who thinks that DH's only play half the game. But I also give players their due when they do iconic things like you mentioned, basically beating the Yankees all by himself (not really, but kinda!) So I am pro on Ortiz making it.The Diamond Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001830855287742523noreply@blogger.com
