As soon as Jack O'Connell, who made the call on behalf of the Hall of Fame, notified Ortiz that he was in, Big Papi and everyone else at his event erupted in celebration.
The celebration will continue on July 24 in Cooperstown, New York, when Ortiz becomes the 334th member enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
