Ortiz should walk in, but the DH thing is an issue. Not for me. After over 40 years the sports writers should get over it.
I am kind of ambivalent about it, but I can understand the bias because I have always had an affinity for multi-dimensional athletes in any sport. To me, a DH in baseball is a lot like a punter in the NFL. Even the best of them are tagged as "incomplete" players in many ways.
