Cleveland Indians fans were interested in the 2020 Hall of Fame announcement to see how close Omar Vizquel came to enshrinement.
But there was another former Indians great on the ballot. That individual is Manny Ramirez, who spent the first eight years of his career in Cleveland. 2020 was his fourth year on the ballot and even with his 555 career home runs, he couldn’t muster many votes.
The obvious reason for Ramirez’s low vote total is the fact he was linked to PED use during his career. That taints his entire body of work in the eyes of many voters.
