The list of tributes for David Ortiz continues to grow.
LEGO does some pretty cool things when it comes to the sports world. To the top of Lego Ortiz’s finger, the model stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 170 pounds.
The statue took 34,510 bricks and 290 hours to construct, Steve Saleeba, from the PR firm Elevate, said.
He also recently got a chance to see his likeness made in a life-size LEGO statue.
