There's more to it than this. Ortiz is the face of the 2000s-10s Red Sox, the face of the 2004 comeback, the man who declared this is our ****ing city. The writers liked him and gave him a pass. "The politics of glory" as Bill James once appropriately remarked.
Bud selig hiring a Red Sox guy to lead up the steroids investigation then to conveniently leave off names from their World Series runs is a stain on the stain.
