NORTON -- We're all drawn to greatness. When David Ortiz steps into the batter's box at Fenway Park, we lay claim to him because he plays for our team, in our city, and that means we are qualified to take ownership of a small piece of his greatness when he hits one over the Wall. Same thing with Ted Williams, ...

He&#39;s the former ace of the Red Sox staff who won three Cy Young awards and called the Yankees his &quot;daddy.&quot; But he&#39;s been overshadowed by the buzz about Curt Schilling&#39;s stitched-up ankle and lights-out pitching.

FOXBOROUGH - It was a simple acknowledgement from one home-run hitter to another when David Ortiz showed up at Gillette Stadium for the Patriots' 28-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins yesterday wearing Laurence Maroney's No. 39 jersey.

David Ortiz always lights up the room. You never know which retro jersey from which sport he'll be wearing, and once he arrives you know the laughing and joking will soon begin. The man is a superb locker room presence.
