The Baseball Writers Association of America has released the ballot for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame voting, so we are doing polls on the players on the list.
Today is shortstop Omar Vizquel.
Omar Vizquel was originally signed by the Seattle Mariners out of Venezuela in 1984. Vizquel broke into the majors in 1989, and spent the next five seasons as the Mariners’ regular shortstop before being traded to Cleveland after the 1993 season for Felix Fermin, Reggie Jefferson, and cash.
Vizquel spent the next 11 years with Cleveland, and that’s the team that I think we generally associate Vizquel with.
