| Ortiz, a 10-time all-star and three-time World Series champion who was in his first year on the writers' ballot, helped the Boston Red Sox break their curse and now becomes the rare Hall of Famer who played sparingly in the field. This year's vote also put a sharp focus on the impact of performance-enhancing-drug allegations on a player's legacy, a complicated issue for voters, who kept Bonds and Clemens out of the Hall in their final year on the writers' ballot. |
