BOSTON -- Remarkably, David Ortiz has taken his game to another level for three consecutive seasons. The latest elevation in Ortiz's offensive prowess has landed him the 2005 Hank Aaron Award in the American League.
Ortiz is the second consecutive Red Sox player to receive the prestigious honor, following Manny Ramirez's selection in 2004. The man known throughout New England as 'Big Papi' was presented with the honor prior to Game 4 of the World Series on Wednesday night in Houston.
While Ramirez has been a superstar for more than a decade, Ortiz's emergence has skyrocketed over the last three years.
