Short Bio:  David Americo Ortiz Arias was born on November 18, 1975, in Santa Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. Ortiz, the oldest of parents Enrique and Angela Rosa's four children, was born with an easygoing personality that allowed him to make friends readily. Baseball was big in the household. Enrique, who went by the nickname Leo, was a baseball player himself, having played professional and semi-professional ball in the Dominican leagues for years. David's heroes were the Martinez brothers, Ramon and Pedro, local boys who had made good in the major leagues.
