Shane Victorino remembers the time David Ortiz pushed his son around in a laundry cart
Despite our desperate pleas to the Baseball Gods, the day has finally come -- Sunday's game against the Blue Jays marked David Ortiz's final regular-season appearance at Fenway Park. Befitting a man whose dingers changed the course of baseball history, the tributes came from all over: bridges in his honor; selfies with the president of his native Dominican Republic; even the retirement of his No. 34.
Unfortunately, all of those very touching gestures are competing for second place, because they don't feature Big Papi pushing Shane Victorino's adorable son around the Red Sox clubhouse in a laundry cart:

We're not sure how we can put this on Ortiz's Hall of Fame plaque, but we know that science needs to make it happen.
