More proof David Ortiz is a Hall of Famer

Papi and Pedro's during Ortiz's 500-homer celebration at Fenway Park.

Last night, David Ortiz launched home run No. 502 of his career.  It was Papi's 36th this season, as well as RBI No. 100 and 101.  It made all of these things happen:

There's home run No. 35 for David Ortiz. Fourth player in history with 35+ homers at age 39 or older.

Just how impressive are his 36 home runs at age 39?  The last time Ortiz hit that many in a season was nine years ago in 2006.
