David Americo Ortiz Arias was born November 18, 1975 in Santo Domingo located in the Dominican Republic. At the age of 17, David Arias, as he was called then, was signed by the Seattle Mariners and placed in the minor leagues. In 1996, Ortiz was traded to the Minnesota Twins and made his major league debut in September of 1997.
In 2003, David Ortiz became a free agent and was signed by the Boston Red Sox. While originally not suppose to see a lot of playing time, the poor play of Jeremy Giambi and the trading of Shea Hillenbrand gave Ortiz more time on the field. David Ortiz quickly excelled in his role and earned a spot as the Red Sox designated hitter.
