The city of Boston has honored David Ortiz by renaming the street formerly known as Yawkey Way Extension, near Fenway Park, to David Ortiz Drive.

"This city means a lot to me. This city got me to where I am," Ortiz said.

Ortiz retired last season after spending 14 of his 20 Major League seasons with the Red Sox. He helped the club win three World Series titles, including their first in 86 years in 2004.
