David Ortiz wins home run derby
The old-timer walked to the plate, a bat in his hand, four home run derbies worth of experience to his credit, and none of them a victory.
But it being the derby's final round Monday night at Angel Stadium, Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz could change that last part.
And, after several home runs, many of which sailed into the elevated right-field stands, Ortiz did, winning his first derby by beating Florida shortstop Hanley Ramirez, 11-5, in the final. When it was over, Ortiz, who hit 32 home runs at an average of 417 feet, dedicated the victory to former major league pitcher Jose Lima.
