rmackman Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 David Ortiz did play with the Twins at one time...but why the hell does it say DAVID ARIAS? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Here's the best I got...http://www.homeruncards.com/rookiecards/da...okie-card.shtmlPlease note: Although the name on the front of this 1997 Fleer card reads "David Arias", this is David Ortiz. His full name is David Arias-Ortiz.. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheateater Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 On a side note, his nickname used to be "Big Mami" before he decided it didn't sound masculine enough...All that "Who's your Mami" chanting during last year's ALCS prolly would've confused him some.

DEAD! Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Wow! His real name is David Americo Ortiz Arias. Apparently, this is what happened: "The Twins were unsettled at first, and their DH, Paul Molitor, was over 40 and due to retire in a season or two. When the Twins contacted David, he expressed his desire to make it big in Minnesota, and let the team know that, from that point forwrad, he wished to be called Ortiz instead of Arias."http://www.jockbio.com/Bios/Ortiz/Ortiz_bio.html I saw, I came, I left.
