well when your fighting its best to have big knuckles, i don't know about having a bony hand, but your knuckles, the bigger the better when your fighting because it feels like a bigger rock hitting a person, but mostly what your born with is what you have, unless your a professional fighter, then you can condition your knuckles and make them a bit bigger by punching a wooden board rapping in rope.

the name comes from Ortiz's arrival at fenway. He did not know anyone's name so he called everyone papi. So natuarally, everyone started calling him 'the big papi' which was shortened to big papi.
Alternate answer from tcbagadonuts
I would love to be proven correct but I suggest that Pedro Martinez called him Big Papi first probably in March 2003 at Spring training in Fla. Nomar and Manny laughed in approval. over time Manny Ramirez sold it. I figure Ortiz himself so wanted to be this 'Big Papi' that through his actions and across many months as he strove to get his batting swing right in order to make an impact. Remember Ortiz got to hit sparingly in the 1st half of 2003. Papi's first home run of the season, however, was a game-winning blast in the 14th inning of an April 27 game against the Anaheim Angels, Not until July 3rd did he pick up his 5th hr. Then over 4th of July weekend he hit Four HR's in 2 games against the Yankees! to increase from 4 to 9 Hr's in 3 days! With that performance and thereafter I figure Kevin Millar made it Ok for Anglos as all were sold that Ortiz was indeed "...a super clutch hitter and a worthy team leader"-My definition of "Big Papi" for the Dictionary! - Tony C - from Martha's V

Why can you not see the big dipper in Texas?
If you're anywhere south of about 35 degrees north latitude, then at least part of
the Big Dipper rises and sets; that is, there are some parts of some nights when
not all of its stars are visible.
If you're farther south than about 40 degrees south latitude, then none of the stars
in the Big Dipper is ever visible to you.
The description of "wobble" really doesn't paint a picture that's clear enough to
suggest what you're actually seeing.
If you see anything in the sky that appears to move with respect to stars, then
that object is either the sun, or else it's not a star. It could be a planet, an asteroid,
a comet, a meteor, the Earth's moon, or an artificial satellite.
"Southeast of the Big Dipper" also doesn't help. The Big Dipper ... and every other
pattern of stars ... either rotates half-way around the pole or else crosses the entire
sky, every night.
The big dipper is shaped like a pan, which in the past was called a dipper. Dippers were used to scoop up water. It gets the big part from being bigger than the little dipper, another constellation.
