David Ortiz is an icon. His style and swagger at the plate is unmistakable. One might say that it's also inimitable ... but it turns out that a few of David Ortiz's younger teammates can do pretty good Big Papi impressions.
Of course, not even Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts or Jackie Bradley Jr. can come as close to recreating the at-bat routine and home run celebration of Ortiz as his own son, D'Angelo:

Honestly? Pretty spot-on.
What this video from Whistle Sports clearly proves is that after Ortiz retires, all of his Red Sox teammates should agree to do at least one Ortiz impression in every Red Sox game in 2017 and every subsequent year until the Big Papi-sized hole in our hearts is filled -- which will be never, FYI.
