David Ortiz’s regular season career is coming to a close. Retiring after this season, Ortiz has just four games left to play before the postseason. He’s received plenty of gifts along the way. Now, he’s set to play his final regular season home series and the Red Sox are pulling out all the stops.

Some custom art is cool. You know what’s even cooler? A dang mural carved into the grass at Fenway Park. It’s a shame that grass will grow out and eventually ruin that, because that is a masterpiece.
I thought the giant LEGO version of Ortiz would be the best tribute, but it’s tough to top grass art.
