He impressed me so much in his first year with Boston that it was a no-brainer decision. Papi is VERY deserving of being inducted in his first year of eligibility for all the reasons you wrote. He was key to every championship the Red Sox won during his tenure, and his last year, despite not reaching the pinnacle of team success, did a lot, I believe, to end all questions of whether he should be in Cooperstown.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-91190139268991599162022-01-26T07:52:18.538-08:002022-01-26T07:52:18.538-08:00Things like the effect of the DH on his WAR may ha...Things like the effect of the DH on his WAR may have made his HOF candidacy a little difficult, but David Ortiz made it easy -- very easy -- for me to choose my favorite baseball player of all time.
