Ortiz getting in before Bagwell? Bagwell played his first 9 years in a stadium that was one of the toughest to hit a HR in MLB history ever He would have easily passed 500 otherwise. Bagwell also won gold a gold glove, and in fact is better than Ortiz on almost all batting categories. 200+ SB for Bagwell. Ortiz? 15 (lol)

IF he does get in earlier, it just more MLB costal mindset and HOF BS as far as I am concerned.

Um...Oritiz is still playing. He’s not eligible until five years after he retires.

But you are correct that sometimes the HOF leaves you scratching your head. For instance there is no reason Catfish Hunter should be in the hall and not Luis Tiant.
