David Ortiz's 20th MLB season will reportedly be his last.

The latest member of the 500 home run club will call it career after the 2016 MLB season, according to FOX's Ken Rosenthal.

Ortiz has spent the last 13 years of his career in Boston, becoming an instrumental figure in ending the Curse of the Bambino after 86 years and delivering three World Series to Boston.

Last season he hit .273 with 37 home runs and 108 RBI. He has a club option for the 2017 season.

Some of the best clutch hitting and inspiration from anyone, anywhere. Mad love for the guy, and unlike most here, great love for sports in New England overall!

If Edgar Martinez isn't the first HoF DH then the Hall is tainted. Not saying Ortiz shouldn't get in just that Edgar should be the 1st DH
