Astros make retiring Ortiz cowboy for a day

David Ortiz is playing his final series in Houston this weekend, so the Astros have elected to honor his illustrious career by making him a cowboy for a day, and gifting him a custom black Stetson cowboy hat.

The Boston Red Sox slugger, who plans to hang up his cleats at season's end, will be hauling in the gifts as he visits each city for the final time in his career.

Ortiz has already had a street named after him in Fort Myers, and received seats from all three of the Red Sox spring training stadiums he played in as part of his farewell tour.
