Papi : my story / David Ortiz with Michael Holley. by Ortiz, David, 1975- Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017.

Description:  viii, 262 pages,16 unnumbered pages of plates : color illustrations ; 24 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  As a key part of the Boston Red Sox for 14 years, David "Big Papi" Ortiz has helped the team win 3 World Series, bringing back a storied franchise from "never wins" to "always wins." He made Boston and the Red Sox his home, his place of work, and his legacy. In this memoir, Ortiz opens up about his life in baseball and about the problems he sees in Major League Baseball, about former teammates, opponents, coaches, and executives, and about the weight of expectation whenever he stepped up to the plate. The result is a revelatory, fly-on-the wall story of a career by a player with a lot to say at the end of his time in the game, a game to which he gave so much and which gave so much to him. Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, David Américo Ortiz Arias, nicknamed "Big Papi", is a retired American professional baseball designated hitter (DH) and occasional first baseman who played 20 Major League Baseball seasons, primarily with the Boston Red Sox. Ortiz holds the Red Sox single-season record for home runs with 54, which he set during the 2006 season. He finished his career with 541 home runs, which ranks 17th on the MLB all-time home run list, 1,768 RBIs (22nd all-time) and a .286 batting average. Among designated hitters, he is the all-time leader in MLB history for home runs (485), runs batted in (RBIs) (1,569), and hits (2,192). He is the author of the 2007 memoir Big Papi: my story of big dreams and big hits. Genre:  Autobiographies.
