So...Bonds is a lightning rod, presumably by that you mean for bias,
but you can be TOTALLY objective in your opinion of Ortiz as a Sox
fan? Interesting. Let's turn the tables, why do the whispers start?
Why hasn't Ortiz been the subject of such whispers (in more than a
fleeting sense from Yankees trolls). Perhaps because his personal
trainer wasn't indicted as part of a Federal investigation for
supplying steroids?
