CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Some believe Albert Belle, on the merits of his 50 home runs and 52 doubles, deserved the 1995 American League Most Valuable Player Award.
Instead, Mo Vaughn captured the hardware in the first of his three All-Star campaigns with the Boston Red Sox. Awards aside, Vaughn and Belle were two of the most feared sluggers in the AL in the '90s, before injuries curtailed their careers.
Vaughn retired in 2003 and later founded a trucking company, Mo Vaughn Transport. The business is one of three companies to partner with the Indians this off-season in an effort to enhance the franchise's youth service programs in the area.
