David Ortiz's Daughter Sings Anthem as Big Papi Honored at Final Home Opener

Kyle NewportApr 11, 2016

As David Ortiz begins the last season of his illustrious career, the Boston Red Sox made sure his final home opener was a day to remember.

Little did Big Papi know, the pregame festivities would be a special moment not just for him but his whole family.

The Red Sox surprised their star slugger by having his 15-year-old daughter, Alex, sing the national anthem before the game, leaving the 40-year-old father fighting back his emotions.

Just an incredible surprise.

While that father-daughter moment alone would have made for a special afternoon, there was more in store for Ortiz.

The designated hitter had the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch with fellow Boston legends Bill Russell (Celtics), Bobby Orr (Bruins) and Ty Law (Patriots). Even Pedro Martinez and a few of Ortiz's other Red Sox teammates made an appearance.

And as he has been known to do, Big Papi delivered in the first inning.
