Ortiz Hits 400th Home Run With Red Sox

[RealGM Wiretap]

David Ortiz hit a pair of two-run home runs on Saturday, the 400th and 401st of his career with the Boston Red Sox.

Ortiz joined Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski as the only players to hit 400 homers while playing with the organization.

"It's an honor to be mentioned with those legends that were with the Red Sox," he said. "When you come to this organization to play, you're not expecting to be mentioned with those guys."

Ortiz has 459 home runs in his career, which started with the Minnesota Twins.

Considering Ortiz only managed 58 homers in his first 455 games and didnt hit 30 in a season until age 27--it is nothing short of remarkable that he is on the cusp of 500 career home runs, which he should eclipse by the end of a healthy 2015 season
