David Ortiz has the most popular MLB jersey

The off-season is over, and actual baseball games are being played. There's still time for distractions, though, like seeing who sold more jerseys than anyone else in Major League Baseball this off-season. In case you already forgot the above headline, that individual is Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz.

Ortiz wasn't the only Red Sox to appear in the top-20, though. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia fittingly came in second, while closer Koji Uehara ranked 18th. Former Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury came in at the 20 spot, due to a mix of clearance sales in Boston and shiny new jerseys in New York.

It's not hard to see why Ortiz would be such a great sale. He was at his most Ortiz both in terms of production and personality in 2013, leading the Red Sox to a World Series victory thanks to batting .309/.395/.564 in the regular season and then an absurd .688/.760/1.188 in the Fall Classic itself. He remained in the spotlight for much of the winter thanks to his contract negotiations as well, negotiations that ended with what could end up being a four-year, career-finishing deal for him with the Red Sox.
