WATCH: David Ortiz sets single-season HR record by a player aged 40 or older

Ortiz added another accomplishment to his long list

Red Sox legend David Ortiz is now less than two weeks away from playing in his final regular-season game. But that didn't stop him from making some history on Monday night.

That's because Ortiz connected for his 35th home run -- this a two-run shot off Orioles righty Dylan Bundy -- which set a new single-season record. Here's the visual:

What record did Ortiz set? The most home runs in a season by a player aged 40 or older. Previously Darrell Evans owned that crown -- and had since 1987. Evans' mark had, for the most part, gone unchallenged, even during the steroid era. Before Ortiz, Raul Ibanez's 29-homer effort in 2013 was the only time someone had came within five long ones of Evans:

Player	Season	Age	HR
David Ortiz	2016	40	35
Darrell Evans	1987	40	34
Raul Ibanez	2013	41	29
Ted Williams	1960	41	29
Barry Bonds	2007	42	28

Of course, Ortiz isn't just having an impressive season relative to his age. He entered Monday hitting .317/.403/.626, which is good for a 163 OPS+, or the second-highest mark in baseball, behind Mike Trout.

If Ortiz is dead-set on retiring, and he seems to be, then he's going out on top.
