Just because Ortiz doesn't tear up the basepath doesn't mean he shouldn't have a cleat line named after him.

Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds would be much worse choices because of their negative publicity.

Curtis Granderson lacks the notoriaty or market prowess of a Big Papi so he would be a far worse choice.

I understand that you are associating cleats with the basepaths, but that's not what Reebok is doing.
