Ortiz makes final stop at Camden Yards during regular season

After 20 American League seasons, Boston designated hitter David Ortiz will play his final regular-season game tonight at Camden Yards.

That's good news for the Orioles, considering Ortiz's 54 career home runs against Baltimore, third-most behind the Minnesota Twins' Harmon Killebrew (68) and the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez (69).

Ortiz has 30 home runs in Camden Yards. That's the third-highest total for him in a road ballpark. He's hit 41 in Toronto's Rogers Centre and 34 in Tampa Bay's Tropicana Field, the place where he launched career No. 500 last season.

Jeremy Guthrie gave up three home runs to Ortiz, the most by an Orioles pitcher.

Ortiz is 7-for-36 for a .194 average against the Orioles' Chris Tillman. Former Orioles lefty Brian Matusz held Ortiz to a .138 average in 28 at-bats while closer Zach Britton has held Ortiz to a .250 average with a home run, three walks and four strikeouts.

But Big Papi is known for more than home runs with Orioles fans. He's also had memorable outbursts.

Go back to July 2011 in Fenway Park, when he thought Orioles reliever Kevin Gregg was pitching too far inside against him in a 10-3 Red Sox win.

Ortiz hit a fly to center field, and then, on his way to the dugout, charged the mound to go after Gregg.

Two seasons later in Camden Yards, Ortiz didn't like umpire Tim Timmons' strike zone. After a strikeout, Ortiz argued, got ejected, and took it on the phone in the third base dugout.

Ortiz slammed his bat into the phone, sending splinters of the case flying toward nearby teammate Dustin Pedroia, earning a $5,000 fine.

Ortiz, who grew up in the Dominican Republic, was signed by the Seattle Mariners as an amateur free agent in 1992 and was traded to Minnesota. He hit .313 for the Twins in the 2002 American League Championship Series, but was released Dec. 22 of that year.

A month later, he signed with the Red Sox, his only option. Even the Red Sox weren't sure about signing Ortiz because they had Jeremy Giambi as their DH.

Giambi started 2003 in a slump. Ortiz took over the job, starting a legendary career. Now, Ortiz is as much a part of Red Sox history as Ted Williams.

On Aug. 3, 2003, Ortiz hit his first two home runs for Boston in Camden Yards in the same game, one against Rick Helling and another against Kerry Ligtenberg.

At age 40, Ortiz has passed Mickey Mantle for 17^th place on the all-time home run list and Orioles great Frank Robinson for 11^th place on the all-time list of extra-base hits.

He's won a home run title, two RBI titles, six Silver Sluggers and made 10 All-Star teams. He finished second to Rodriguez in the 2005 AL MVP voting.

Ortiz has won three World Series championships with the Red Sox, two against St. Louis and one against Colorado. He was the 2013 World Series MVP, hitting .688 with two home runs against the Cardinals.

Before he retires, and likely becomes a Hall of Famer, Ortiz wants a fourth ring.

When October arrives, the Orioles could derail the plan, the perfect payback for two decades of home-run heartache.
