Being on the Hall of Fame ballot for the fourth time, former Cleveland Indians shortstop Omar Vizquel deserves to be inducted in 2021.

Anyone who watched the Cleveland Indians during the 1990s and the early 2000s knows that Omar Vizquel should be in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. An acrobat at the shortstop position, Vizquel made plays that seemed impossible look routine, doing so across 24 seasons for six teams. However, he spent the most time in an Indians’ uniform, playing from the Tribe for 11 seasons from 1994 until 2004, including all three of his All-Star appearances.
