BOSTON — All-Star, Silver Slugger, MVP, Designated Hitter.  These are all titles that David Ortiz has held, but is Mayor of Boston one that he may wear in the future? 

According to reports by Boston public television and radio outlet WGBH, the clutch Red Sox slugger finished third in the Boston mayoral race after receiving a slew of write-in votes on Tuesday. 

There were 560 write-in votes on Tuesday in Boston's mayoral election, amounting to a whopping .4 percent of the total vote.  The largest number of write-in votes, 10, appears to have come from East Boston's Ward 1 Precinct 3.  Boston's Ward 1, Ward 18, Ward 20, and Ward 23 provided the largest number of raw write-in votes but Ward 1 provided the highest percentage of overall write-in votes. 

The city will not confirm the exact number of votes Ortiz received as he was not a registered write-in candidate.  Longstanding policy is for candidates to register with the Boston Elections Department as a write-in candidate for tabulation if they want their votes counted in the final numbers. 

State Rep. Marty Walsh of Dorchester defeated City Councilor John Connolly of West Roxbury by 4,908 votes on Tuesday, winning the race with 51.55 percent of the vote.  It was the closest municipal election in Boston since 1975.
