Green Monster Region
No. 1 seed: Oct. 17, 2004 -- Down 3-0 in the ALCS, Ortiz hits a 12th-inning, two-run, walk-off home run off Paul Quantrill to beat the New York Yankees and spark Boston's historic series comeback.
No. 8 seed: Jan. 22, 2003 -- Ortiz signs with the Red Sox as a free agent -- launching a legendary run in Beantown and marking one of the best moves in franchise history.
No. 2 seed: Oct. 20, 2004 -- His two-run home run off Yankees starter Kevin Brown in the first inning of Game 7 of the ALCS starts the scoring in a Curse-breaking blowout in the Bronx. Ortiz is named MVP of the series after hitting .387 with three home runs and 11 RBIs.
No. 7 seed: July 31, 2006 -- With a three-run walk-off homer in the ninth, Big Papi helps Boston beat the Cleveland Indians 9-8 -- and hold onto first place in the AL East.
No. 3 seed: April 27, 2003 -- His first home run with the Red Sox shows shades of what's to come. In other words, it's clutch -- a pinch-hit, go-ahead, 14th-inning solo blast in a 6-4 win over the Anaheim Angels.
No. 6 seed: May 14, 2016 -- Thirteen years later, in his farewell season, more extra-inning heroics for Ortiz. Papi crunches a walk-off double with two outs in the 11th inning to seal a 6-5 win over the Houston Astros. As if that wasn't enough, he had laced a game-tying triple (!) in the ninth, and earlier took 20th place on the career home run list with a solo homer off Collin McHugh.
No. 4 seed: July 12, 2010 -- Ortiz slugs a then-record 11 homers in the final round to bounce former -- and now current -- teammate Hanley Ramirez and win the Home Run Derby at Angel Stadium.
No. 5 seed: July 29, 1996 -- In The Greatest Home Run Derby You've Never Heard Of in Appleton, Wisconsin, a minor leaguer, then known as David Arias, steals the show from Seattle Mariners superstars Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez in an impromptu showdown.
Pesky Pole Region
No. 1 seed: Oct. 13, 2013 -- Ortiz sends Torii Hunter tumbling over the right-field wall at Fenway Park -- and turns a celebrating Boston cop, Steve Horgan, into a celebrity -- with a grand slam that turns the tide in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers.
No. 8 seed: Dec. 16, 2002 -- After hitting 58 home runs in parts of six seasons in Minnesota, Ortiz is given his release by the Twins, in one of the worst moves in franchise -- and perhaps baseball -- history.
No. 2 seed: Oct. 8, 2004 -- ALCS, here we come! Ortiz's two-run, 10th-inning home run off Jarrod Washburn sweeps the Angels out of the ALDS and sets up an all-time classic series with the Yankees.
No. 7 seed: Sept. 29, 2005 -- If you've read this far, you'll start to notice that Ortiz's dramatic moments are so numerous they almost start to seem mundane. How about, with the Red Sox battling the Yankees for first place late in the season, a game-tying home run against the Toronto Blue Jays in the bottom of the eighth inning, followed by a walk-off single in the ninth? Wait, the walk-off isn't a home run? Next!
No. 3 seed: Sept. 21, 2006 -- Ortiz's 51st bomb of the season breaks Jimmie Foxx's Red Sox record, set 68 years earlier. Even better? He hits it against his former team, the Twins.
No. 6 seed: April 11, 2004 -- Months before the 2004 season becomes legendary in Red Sox lore, Ortiz launches a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to beat the Blue Jays in the seventh game of the year.
No. 4 seed: July 12, 2016 -- At Petco Park, Big Papi is lifted for a pinch runner and greeted by teammates on the field in honor of his 10th and final All-Star Game.
No. 5 seed: Aug. 16, 2014 -- With his 27th home run of the season, Big Papi joins Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski as the only players to hit 400 homers while playing with the Red Sox. For good measure, Big Papi punishes the Astros with another home run later in the game en route to a 10-7 victory.
The Triangle Region
No. 1 seed: April 20, 2013 -- The only No. 1 seed not in October, but it's a contender for the crown nonetheless. Otherwise known as The Speech, Ortiz addresses the Fenway faithful, the city of Boston, and really, the entire country, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. "All right, Boston," Big Papi says. "This jersey that we wear today, it doesn't say 'Red Sox.' It says 'Boston.' We want to thank you, Mayor [Thomas] Menino, Governor [Deval] Patrick, the whole police department for the great job that they did this past week. This is our f---ing city. And nobody's going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."
No. 8 seed: 2008 -- In a far more lighthearted moment, Ortiz puts on a Yankees hat in a SportsCenter commercial called "Betrayal" with Jorge Posada -- causing some considerable distress.
No. 2 seed: Oct. 27, 2013 -- Since we're on the subject of speeches, Big Papi's Game 4 pep talk in the dugout helps rally his teammates to a 4-2 win, tying the World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals after Boston had dropped Games 2 and 3.
No. 7 seed: Sept. 13, 1996 -- Ortiz is shipped by the Mariners to the Twins as the player to be named later in a trade for Dave Hollins. This turns out to be, as if we needed to tell you, one of the worst deals in MLB history.
No. 3 seed: Oct. 5, 2003 -- Ortiz won't help lead Boston to a pennant until the next season, but he contributes some postseason heroics in Game 4 of the 2003 ALDS. His two-run double off Keith Foulke of the Oakland A's drives in Nomar Garciaparra and Manny Ramirez in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Red Sox a 5-4 lead they won't relinquish. The win, in the second of three straight elimination games, ties the series; Boston goes on to win Game 5 before falling to Aaron (Bleepin') Boone and the Yankees in the ALCS.
No. 6 seed: Aug. 16, 2005 -- The Tigers are two outs away from a win when Ortiz steps to the plate in the top of the ninth and goes yard to tie the game at 3. He then hits a three-run home run with two outs in the 10th as part of a seven-run Red Sox rally. The home run is especially important, as Detroit answers with four runs in the bottom of the inning. But it's not enough. Ortiz & Co. win 10-7.
No. 4 seed: July 26, 2003 -- Ortiz's first walk-off hit as a member of the Boston Red Sox comes against the hated Yankees at Fenway Park -- a single to center off Armando Benitez that scores Jeremy Giambi.
No. 5 seed: Sept. 6, 2005 -- Ortiz swats a walk-off home run off Angels reliever Scot Shields -- then is presented with a plaque that reads "The Greatest Clutch Hitter In The History Of The Boston Red Sox" by owner John Henry and president/CEO Larry Lucchino.
Yawkey Way Region
No. 1 seed: Oct. 18, 2004 -- Down three games to one in the ALCS (following his walk-off home run in Game 4), Ortiz smacks a two-out, game-winning single in the 14th inning off Yankees reliever Esteban Loaiza to bring Boston within a game of tying the series.
No. 8 seed: 2015 -- Sorry, Gronk, we're going to sacrifice you here. Barring some ingenious ballot-stuffing -- which we will veto -- Ortiz's first commercial with New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, in which Big Papi plays a Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup solo as the two duet on a song called "Sippin," will go down like the Yankees did in 2004.
No. 2 seed: Oct. 27, 2004: Is this an upset in the making? It's more a team moment than an Ortiz moment, but Big Papi celebrating the Red Sox's first World Series title in 86 years -- after hitting .308 with a home run and four RBIs in a sweep of the Cardinals -- could give the No. 1 seed a run for its money. Assuming, of course, it can knock off No. 7 first, and go from there.
No. 7 seed: June 2, 2005 -- You might not remember this, but Baltimore Orioles reliever B.J. Ryan is in the midst of a dominant three-year stretch -- in which he saves 77 games, posts a 2.04 ERA and strikes out 308 batters over 210 appearances -- when Ortiz steps to the plate with two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the ninth and the Red Sox trailing 4-3. Guess what? Yup, three-run, walk-off home run.
No. 3 seed: April 4, 2014 -- On Opening Day at Fenway, Ortiz receives his third World Series ring, plus an additional "MVP" ring, after hitting .688 with a 1.948 OPS during a World Series win over the Cardinals in which he was named Most Valuable Player.
No. 6 seed: June 11, 2006 -- OK, see if you can guess the ending here. Texas Rangers lead 4-2. There are two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the ninth. Akinori Otsuka toes the rubber and tosses two strikes and two balls at Ortiz. Where does his final pitch land?
No. 4 seed: Sept. 12, 2015 -- At Tropicana Field, Ortiz belts his 500th career round-tripper in the fifth inning off Tampa Bay Rays starter Matt Moore, becoming just the 27th player to do so. In typical Big Papi excess, it's actually his second home run of the game; he had cracked No. 499 off Moore in the first.
No. 5 seed: April 5, 2016 -- Ortiz starts his season-long farewell tour with -- what else? -- a home run on his final Opening Day. Ortiz takes Indians righty Trevor Bauer deep in the ninth inning, a two-run blast that pads Boston's lead in a 6-2 win in Cleveland.
