In final year, Papi's jersey the most popular
Much like his skills, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz's popularity isn't dwindling as his 20-year career comes to a close this season.
Ortiz, who was recently selected to his 10th All-Star Game, has the most popular jersey to date in 2016.
Ortiz heads the Top 20 list, which is comprised of 13 2016 All-Stars. This is the second time that Ortiz has led the list since 2010, when Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association began releasing rankings.
Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, last year's National League Rookie of the Year Award winner, remains in second place, where he finished last season. He is one of three Cubs in the top 10, joined by Anthony Rizzo (No. 4) and Jake Arrieta (No. 7).
