Ped Scandal:
Ortiz will have no such concerns, becoming the first player with a credibly verified tie to PEDs to earn election.
He tested positive for a banned substance during anonymous survey testing in 2003, the New York Times reported in 2009, and Ortiz built upon that season to produce a career worthy of Cooperstown, even if only a designated hitter.
He slugged 541 home runs, earned 10 All-Star nods and seven Silver Slugger awards and over 20 seasons maintained a .931 OPS, good for 38th all time.
