I don't think he should be, he didn't hit 500 HRs.

Was Vlad ever linked to steroids? Not from everywhere I've read, considering his numbers and his clean record he should definitely be in the HOF.

Now Bonds/Sosa/MM should 100% not be in there. Vlad put up all around good numbers, good D, and over a .300 career batting average, 400+hr, 1400+ RBIs, .930 OPS , 9 time all star!!!!!!!

How in the hell could he not make it is more of the question. McGwire on steroids posted an all time 62 batter war, Vlad was 59. I don't even think it's a question if he gets in at some point, he should and will.
 
you have no idea if the mute took anything or not, he certainly seemed to grow a ton during his career just like Bonds and others

Mute might have have been more physically gifted than many players but he was also a lot dumber, he made some really dumb plays.

Everything he's done is now tainted, the guy ruined his reputation with steroids. As far as any true baseball fan is concerned, his record has a * next to it. And a lot of people agree with that statement.

I agree. Funny thing is he would have been a lock for the HOF even without steroids. Just got to greedy I guess.

assuming he wasnt on them from day one....yes

they should just make a steroid HoF.....I nominate Ben Johnson.
 
Still have a signed Guerrero Expos jersey hanging in my office. Damn that thing is old.
 
25th all-time in slugging and 35th in OPS. MVP award. Basically did it all in 14 seasons. Not a first ballot HOF'er, but definitely belongs there.
 
Vlad would have won a few battling titles if he was a bit more disciplined at the plate, then he would have been a shoe-in.
 
From the Expos board.

Hi guys!

I will be there Friday night in Section 113, and Saturday in Section 117. Let's tip some Cinquantes.

Also, there will be book signings!

Also, supersecret, Expos-related event planned for that weekend (not related to the games, or the book). Hoping the news goes public in the next couple months. Much as I'm excited to see baseball at the Big O again, this will be 10000 times more exciting.
 
Also from the Expos board. If true, very impressive.

If it's 55,000 tickets total for the two games then you've got approximately 27,500 tickets sold for each game. That's a pretty good base, I'd say. If they don't sell a single ticket between now and next March 27,500 would still be a great turnout compared to what the Expos were drawing the last few years. It's also far better than the Marlins and Rays are drawing these days I'm sure. And let's remember that the Expos won't be playing; it'll be the Jays and Mets - 2 teams that Montrealers have little affinity for. At this rate the turn-out for this series will be a good one, not that it means anything. I remember going to see the Jays play the Expos at BC Place back in 94 and the place was sold out despite the fact that BC Place is a horrible venue for baseball. But no one ever saw the turn-out as "proof" of Vancouver's viability as a potential MLB market. It was a one-off.
