Despite His Stained Reputation, Alex Rodriguez’s MLB Dream Gets a Major Boost From a Hard-Hitting Hall of Famer

Alex Rodriguez is widely known as one of the best baseball players in the world. Despite his questionable decisions regarding drug use, his talent is still celebrated. However, the Biogenesis baseball scandal hurt his chances of getting inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Another top player affected by accusations of using performance-enhancing drugs was Sammy Sosa. The former right fielder is known as one of the best hitters in the game. He is also counted as one among only nine players to ever hit 600 career home runs in MLB history. While neither of the two players has become a Hall of Famer yet, MLB icon Vladimir Guerrero gave his thoughts on the situation in a recent interview.

Guerrero thinks Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa should be inducted into the Hall of Fame

While there are certainly people who aren’t big fans of Rodriguez and Sosa, some are still ardent supporters of the two ex-players. And former right fielder Vladimir Guerrero is among them. Guerrero is a nine-time winner of the All-Star title and was known for his powerful batting skills. In a recent interview with journalist José Peguero, he revealed that he thinks both players should be Hall of Famers.

“I think Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez should be in the Hall of Fame. They put up the numbers. There are many players who are in the Hall of Fame and they didn’t have enough numbers,” he said.

While Rodriguez still has a few years left to make his case, Sosa’s last year for consideration was 2022.

Vladimir Guerrero is no stranger to the Hall 0f Fame

The Dominican is a legend in the MLB world and known for his talent on both sides of the ball. His offensive production was considered impressive on account of regular powerful batting as well as his throwing arm. Nicknamed ‘Vlad the Impaler’, he was inducted into Cooperstown, New York, in 2018.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the designated hitter and first baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays. He made his major league debut in April 2019 and was voted the AL All-Star in 2021, becoming the youngest MVP in All-Star Game history.
