Christy Mathewson and John McGraw
Posted By: John H.
Regarding David Ortiz; I read in SI that the Twins were trying to make him fit into their "small ball" style of play. Well, that didn't work out very well so, despite his great potential, they finally gave up and released him. He signed with the BoSox where they told him to go out an knock the sh** out of the ball. He was quoted as saying that in Minnesota batters would get high fives for moving a runner over but in Boston it was seen as an unproductive at bat. The Sox made it clear that they want hitters to drive runners in and that allowed Ortiz to relax and swing for the fences.
