[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1707995, member: 26283"] Ortiz got in on the first ballot because of the "Boston Strong" moment, and because he's a friendly, smiley guy who's played by Keenan Thompson on SNL. And I'm OK with that. I just think it's stupid that the voters who are so mad about steroid abuse in baseball that they're willing to keep arguably the all-time greatest hitter and all-time greatest pitcher out of the Hall haven't said one word about Ortiz being inducted. And mathematically, a fairly significant chunk of voters who didn't vote for Bonds and Clemons must have voted for Ortiz. I just don't understand the mental gymnastics that went into being able to vote that way. [/QUOTE]
