And I'm a Yankees fan, too!
DAVID ORTIZ, Red Sox DH
When Big Papi broke in with the Twins in the late 1990s, he got to know Minnesota great Kirby Puckett, who Ortiz says served as a valuable mentor to him. Upon arriving in Boston in 2003, Ortiz wanted Puckett's number 34. "Every time I look at that number, I think about him," says Ortiz of the former outfielder who died after a stroke in March. "He cared so much for us. One time when I was struggling, Kirby sat me down. He kept telling me what I needed to do to get better ... to keep fighting and never give up. I can't believe he's not here anymore."
