I think being likable helps...that's why Pettite gets some HOF love and some others don't.
On Ortiz...I just don't put "leaked positive for something on an anonymous test before there was real testing" in the same category as "positive test after when testing became a thing".
Plus, of note...all the "good" part of Ortiz's career came AFTER testing was put in place.
