Check Out David Ortiz's Farwell Weekend at Dodger Stadium

Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz his in his 20th and final season and his team made a farewell stop this weekend at Dodger Stadium.

The farewell train keeps on chugging.

David Ortiz is in his 20th and final season in the Major Leagues and the big-grinned Dominican that is lovably nicknamed "Big Papi," got a chance to stop by Dodger Stadium over the weekend allowing Angelinos to say goodbye to one of baseball's greats. 

The goodbyes began on Friday when Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, and broadcaster Nomar Garciparra joined Ortiz on the field for a pregame ceremony.

"I still have some really good friends over there in Big Papi and Pedrioa," Gonzalez said of the Red Sox. "I stay in touch with them a lot. It's definitely great to see them."

All three players were former teammates of Ortiz in Boston, with Roberts instrumental in helping Ortiz and the Red Sox win their first World Series Championship in 86 years when they overcame a three-games-to-none deficit to defeat the New York Yankees in the ALCS and then went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004.

The former teammates stood near the mound as they watched an emotional video tribute to Ortiz, narrated by Hall of Fame broadcaster, Vin Scully, who is also in his final season. 

After the tribute, the Boston three-party presented Ortiz with a check for $10,000 made out to his Children's foundation, a donation that shortly thereafter was matched by Adrian Gonzalez and his wife, Betsy.

Ortiz did not play on Friday night, but made his first start at first base in over a year on Saturday as he dazzled both Dodger and Red Sox fans alike with some sensational stops at first base.

"I used to enjoy playing first base. I got a little sore out there," Ortiz told reporters after the game, but when asked when he got sore, he had a playful answer.

"The first inning," he joked. "More towards the end of the game, but I didn't want to go three days without playing. Good hands never leave you. Remember that."

The 40-year-old slugger definitely was in need of an ice bath after the game, and was not in the starting lineup for Sunday's afternoon start.

However, Big Papi did appear in a pinch-hit role in the top of the seventh inning and all 50,000 fans in attendance rose to their feet, took their camera phones out and began to take pictures of the future Hall-of-Famer in what was likely his last plate appearance at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Blanton wanted no part of the home run hitter and he walked him on five pitches. Minutes later, Papi advanced to second on a single and was lifted for a pinch runner. The respectful and savvy Dodger fans again stood to give Ortiz a standing ovation as he came off the field, tipping his cap in acknowledgement.

Before the game, Ortiz made one last stop on his farewell weekend tour of Dodger Stadium: the press box.

Ortiz couldn't come to Los Angeles without saying hello—and goodbye—to another legend in the game of baseball: Vin Scully.

Ortiz visited the 88-year-old broadcaster in his booth to share some hugs and laughs as they posed for pictures. Ortiz thanked Scully for his video tribute on Friday night and told him about the time he almost signed with the Dodgers in 1992 out of the Dominican Republic.

"We all love you and we're all going to miss you," he told Scully.

But Vin has a way with words and he certainly wove them beautifully as he paid his respects to one of the most iconic hitters in the game.

"I must tell you this," he began. "I've admired the way you play, but I have respected, with great admiration, the human being that you are."
