It was like a paint by numbers project to get the sculpture right. Just match the assigned color donut with the number on the mat. The result is a 10,000 donut likeness of David Ortiz.

There has been so many different tributes and thank yous to Papi it's hard to keep count.

The Baltimore Orioles honored Ortiz with the phone from the dugout that Papi had smashed during a game in 2013.

One of my favorites is a life size Lego sculpture of the Red Sox Slugger.

But my absolute favorite tribute so far has to be from Dunkin Donuts who put together an image of Ortiz using 10,000 donuts.
