Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2013 World Series following the team's series-clinching 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 on Wednesday.
David Ortiz named 2013 World Series MVP
Big Papi was given the Barry Bonds treatment toward the end of Boston’s World Series victory. That should tell you how dominant he was in the early part of it.
Ortiz walked four times in Game 6 and came around to score twice. He finished the series with a .688/.760/1.188 line, hit a pair of home runs and walked eight times while fanning only once. While his 11 hits fell two shy of the all-time record, Ortiz reached base more times in a six-game World Series than any other player in history, breaking the mark previously set by Paul Molitor for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993.
Ortiz joins Manny Ramirez and Mike Lowell as the only Red Sox players to win the award, which was first issued in 1955.
