“Big Papi” David Ortiz continued his climb up the all-time RBI list when he passed Hall of Famer Ernie Banks with his 3-RBI performance against the Baltimore Orioles on September 25th, 2015. Ortiz also passed Hall of Famer Wade Boggs on the all-time doubles list in the same game. Ortiz’s 3 RBI put his career total at 1,637, which was one more than “Mr. Cub’s” 1,636 and helped lead the Red Sox past the O’s 7-0 at Fenway Park in Boston. Ortiz also came into the game tied with Boggs on the all-time doubles list at 578 and recorded three doubles to push his total up to 581. Offered here is the very jersey that David Ortiz wore when he surpassed Ernie Banks on the all-time RBI list and Wade Boggs on the all-time doubles ranking during that September 25th, 2015 game.
Ortiz’s Majestic red home alternate button-down jersey features “RED SOX” in Tuscan font that is sewn on across the chest in navy and white tackle twill. The Majestic size 50 tag is screen-printed on the front left tail with an additional Majestic bar code tag below that reads “34 ORTIZ 50 2015”. The back has Ortiz’s number “34” sewn on in McAuliffe-style navy and white tackle twill. The MLB logo patch is sewn on the upper back neck and a “COOL BASE” tag sewn on the side. This jersey displays light game use and comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (JB021702), authenticating that Ortiz wore this jersey during the September 25th, 2015 game.
