One of David Ortiz's best friends -- a native of the Dominican Republic who attended the last two All-Star Games with the Red Sox slugger and has been seen with him at Fenway Park -- has been living a lie, according to federal authorities who charged him this week with three counts of identification fraud. At the 2006 All-Star Game in Pittsburgh, MLB.com described "Edwin Garcia" fraternizing with Ortiz during the Home Run Derby at PNC Park.

Papi is a feather to every fluttering wind that blows.

Still, all he does is deliver.
