God cannot be everywhere, and that’s the reason he made mothers. And it’s true, given the way every mother roots for their children, supporting them in their highs and lows, hoping for their children to become successful. In a similar event, David Ortiz’s son, D’Angelo Ortiz, found himself at the center of his mother’s affections. And then, he didn’t stop himself from sharing some adorable pictures of his mother, Tiffany Ortiz, either.
The Ortiz name echoed across baseball history, all thanks to the legendary David Ortiz, who was often called “Big Papi”. He had 632 doubles and 1768 RBIs. His 23 walk-offs (20 in regular and 3 postseason) still stand as the third most in MLB history, and his 541 home runs as a designated hitter are the highest among any other players in that position. Now his son, D’Angelo Ortiz, is also making some noise after being drafted by the Boston Red Sox.
With the caption “Ma” and a series of love smileys, the 20-year-old infielder has shared a cute photo on his Instagram story, tagging his mother, Tiffany Ortiz. And May 11, Mother’s Day, is the ideal day to express his love for his mother. It’s definitely a special day, but for him, every day is Mother’s Day, as a mother’s love knows no bounds, and the bond between a mother and son transcends time and circumstances, too.
However, this isn’t the first time D’Angelo Ortiz has shared a glimpse of his life off the field, celebrating his mother. Even a few days back, Ortiz was found tagging a brand-name New Balance and his mother in a post that read, “Getting me right for Mother’s Day!!!”
However, it was more than just the sponsorship; it was a sign of his appreciation and regard for his mother and sense of familial pride. This Mother’s Day, the post demonstrated once more how Tiffany Ortiz’s steadfast support of her son helped shape who he is today. Whether it’s his exceptional work ethic or discipline, his mother has always been there for him.
Although D’Angelo Ortiz’s signing the slot allotment of $150,000 with the Red Sox might have raised eyebrows considering that he is the son of the Red Sox legend, he has proved that he has a lot more to do than just follow in his father’s footsteps. Because if it were for nepotism, he would be picked in the first round for a hefty sum, rather than an amount only 3% of the first rounders for the team. It adheres to the plans of the younger Ortiz, who wants to live for something bigger.
Will D’Angelo Ortiz live up to the legacy of his father?
D’Angelo Ortiz aspires to establish his name in baseball despite coming from a family that is well-known for the Hall of Famer David Ortiz. Not just being called Big Papi’s son, but rather someone who can create his path to success. And he is not asking for anything because of the name on the back of his jersey; rather, he is trying to prove his talent and not the legacy to write his name in the history book.
Despite not playing in the majors to date, D’Angelo Ortiz has garnered significant attention from people during spring training. In his recent appearance at the Dodd Stadium, he had shown great composure and navigated the pitches perfectly as well. His athletic prowess has been influenced by his mother, who symbolized the connection between personal growth and familial sacrifices as well. However, that didn’t stop him from showing his actual mettle.,
Ortiz’s journey into the spotlight embodied a combination of bravery, inspiration, and commitment to the game that went well beyond baseball. As of now, Ortiz’s batting average in the minor league is .231, with 2 RBIs, a .313 OBP and a .621 OPS.
In this evolving story of affection and ambition, Ortiz is now trying to honor the past and, maybe, to some extent, try to carry forward the legacy of his father while working relentlessly towards his own future. Do you think he will be able to achieve what he desires in the future?
