Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, whose batting helped lead the club to three World Series titles, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.
The ceremony was staged near the museum and baseball showplace in Cooperstown, New York.
The 46-year-old Dominican nicknamed "Big Papi" was part of the team that ended Boston's 86-year title drought by winning the 2004 World Series and added crowns in 2007 and 2013, when he was named the World Series MVP.
