As the longest tenured member of the team and the only player who was part of the 2004, 2007, and 2013 championships, Ortiz holds a unique position as both the face of the modern-day Red Sox and probably the most universally beloved professional athlete in all of New England today. Holley will explore what he means to the city of Boston, his charisma, what makes him tick, his role as a team leader, his widely admired (if profane) response to the terrorist act at the MarathonCamille Styles Entertainingand will offer insights into topics ranging from World Series heroism to accusations of performance-enhancing drugs.
