Ah, All-Star weekend. The greatest collection of baseball talent in the world, converging on one city. It's an event steeped in history -- the biggest players, the biggest stages, the most iconic moments ... and, of course, that most storied tradition: David Ortiz's wardrobe.

2013
And now, 2013. Ortiz was a veteran of the Midsummer Classic at this point, with little left to prove in his Hall of Fame career and his Hall of Fame fashion sense. So Papi showed up to Citi Field in some paisley that said sure, he might be one of the best hitters in the game, but he wasn't afriad to keep it casual:
