Vlad announces his retirement

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Expo or Angel in HOF?

[Brent Maguire]

8 years of a .978 OPS and 31.9 WAR with the Expos and 6 years of .927 OPS and 24.3 WAR in Anaheim. 

 

Should be with Expos but the playoff appearances and MVP with Angels may make it closer.

I hope it is with the Angels, but either way Vlad deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Great player and even classier human being!

He announced his retirement again? Who does he thinks he is, Favre?

The WAR stat is meaningless to me . You don't need WAR to know how truly great a player Vlad was in his prime.

I would love to see him inducted wearing a Angels uniform.

He goes in as an Angel. I think that is the decision he will make.

I'm sure he's a swell guy, but I've never heard a guy with 8 kids from 5 women described as "classy".

Not up to him.

[QuinlansMinion]

He goes in as both.

Not up to him.

How is it determined?

HOF committee decides. Used to be they deferred to the player (Nolan Ryan etc) but they changed it. Vlad can certainly state his preference.
