"Papi: My Story," set to be released May 16, will detail the 10-time All-Star's life and baseball career.
Ortiz opens up as never before about his life in baseball and about the problems he sees in Major League Baseball, about former teammates, opponents, coaches, and executives, and about the weight of expectation whenever he stepped up to the plate.
Ortiz, who retired at the end of last season, spent 20 years in the majors, winning three World Series titles with Boston. The Red Sox plan to retire his No. 34 on June 23.
