Just a one-card mailday today. This is the Topps insert showing David Ortiz as the Silver Slugger Award Winner for designated hitter last year. Not real exciting today, but Ortiz had one of the greatest final seasons in history. He hit .315/.401/.620 with 38 home runs and 127 RBIs. He led the league in doubles (48), RBIs, slugging percentage, and OPS (1.021). He finished his career with an impressive .286/.380/.552 with 541 home runs and 1,768 RBIs. He was a nine-time All Star, won eight Silver Sluggers, a Home Run Derby championship, and both the ALCS and World Series MVP. He was a part of three World Championship teams in Boston. He is a good candidate for the Hall of Fame.
