29 other teams passed up on Ortiz, but he was released because he couldnt hit opposite field in the middle of the order, in a HR hitting dome. Red Sox did their scouting report and knew he'd become the most feared hitter in baseball, dirty cheater or not.
of course, jeremy giambi beat him out for the 1b job in 2003.
Ortiz won the job later that season, when he was later found to have failed a drug test. Before that, he said anybody found dirty should be suspended the entire season. He has been silent on that opinion ever since.
fucking hypocritical liar
