The Kansas City Royals know how to honor a man in his final season.
Ahead of the club's contest against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, the Royals gave retiring slugger David Ortiz some parting gifts for his career, including three bottles of Kansas City barbecue sauce and a framed photo of the man himself:
