FORT MYERS, FL - FEBRUARY 23: It was Photo Day at camp today, as players came in early to pose for pictures for yearbooks, programs, and editorial use during Boston Red Sox spring training at JetBlue Park on Feb. 23, 2014. They also did videos and audio for promotional purposes during the season. Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz posed with the 2004, 2007, and 2013 World Series trophies, all teams that he played on. After he did a traditional pose for the team photographer, he requested one just for himself, and he turned his cap around, sat on the table and pointed at the hardware.

The Baseball Hall of Fame named David Ortiz as the lone member who will hear his name called in Cooperstown this summer.

Former Boston Red Sox outfielder and Ortiz teammate Mookie Betts chimed in to wish the slugger well.

Alex Cora, the manager of the Red Sox and a teammate of Ortiz from 2005-08, offered a fond message.

Red Sox broadcaster and Hall of Fame reliever Dennis Eckersley showed some love for Big Papi.

A longtime adversary in the heated Red Sox-Yankees rivalry also shared his thoughts.

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. weighed in on his countryman's call to the Hall.

The most vocal reactions filtered in about the voters' decision to exclude Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens in their final year of eligibility.
