Former Angels slugger Vladimir Guerrero earned election to the Hall of Fame in his second year on the ballot.
The 2004 American League Most Valuable Player, Guerrero was a nine-time All-Star and an eight-time Silver Slugger Award winner. His 449 career home runs are tied with fellow Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell for 40th in MLB history. As a 27-year-old for the Expos in 2002, Guerrero was one home run shy of joining the 40-40 club. He batted .318/.379/.553 over the course of his 16-year career.
The results of the 74th annual BBWAA Hall of Fame election are in, and four players will be enshrined in Cooperstown, N.
