Cause unlike Clemens, McGwire, Bonds, Palmeiro and others, Ortiz actually tested positive for steroids and not just had accusations. Thats not to say the others didn't use but they never tested positive. Add on top Ortiz is a fringe HoFer anyway that clearly had add from gear seems weird that he would get in and the others wouldn't. But hey, Bagwell, Piazza, Ivan Rodriguez and others are already in so it's not like the voters have any consistency as is.
