David Ortiz Hands out Gum, Takes Selfie with Kids Before Hitting Home Run

David Ortiz's farewell tour has been fun.

On Saturday, that continued when the Boston Red Sox slugger handed out pieces of gum to young fans sitting near the on-deck circle before stepping to the plate. He also took a selfie.

Then, Big Papi broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning with a two-run home run against Detroit Tigers starter Daniel Norris.

The big fly pushed Ortiz into elite company—he became just the third Red Sox player with 1,500 RBI after Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams.

Boston won 3-2.
