Dominican slugger David "Big Papi" Ortiz became only the seventh player in Major League Baseball history to receive a perfect score in the annual statistics compiled by the Elias Sports Bureau, the company that handles MLB's record keeping. The formula was decided upon by owners and officials in 1981. Ortiz, who just recently helped the Boston Red Sox to win their second title in four years, and was part of the original 2004 BoSox team that broke the Curse of the Bambino, was ranked top amongst designated hitter in appearances, batting average, on base percentage, home runs and runs batted in. The only other players to receive a perfect score were Cal Ripken, Frank Thomas, Don Mattingly, Jeff Bagwell, Manny Ramirez and Albert Pujols.
In other sports news, Dominican Francisco Garcia scored 17 points on 8-15 shooting with six rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes of play. His efforts were in vain as the Kings lost to the Hornets 104-90. Dominican Al Horford, the Atlanta Hawks' first round pick, had a solid debut with 10 points and 9 rebounds in 31 minutes of play for the Hawks. The Hawks won 109-104 against the Charlotte Bobcats.
