"David Ortiz is a larger-than-life baseball star," said Mark Greenberg, EPIX CEO and President. "From his leadership role helping guide the Red Sox to win three World Series titles to his civic work in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic to the compassionate, funny and empathetic way he embraced and comforted Bostonians and all of America following last year's Boston Marathon bombing, he is a true inspiration."

"Very few people get to see my life outside of baseball, I am looking forward to sharing my story with all my fans. I am proud to work with EPIX, Relativity Sports and MLB on this project," said David Ortiz.
