What could be happening in Vizquel’s votes?

It is good to remember that “Manos de Seda” Omar Vizquel has had a relapse in his votes since class 2021 after the report The Athletic where a member of the Chicago White Sox is accused of aggression when he worked in that organization and even more After the scandal with his wife of domestic violence and lawsuit, which later revealed some uncensored photos on the OnlyFans platform, without a doubt they are things that may play against the former shortstop.

However, the numbers do not lie and the votes on the way to the HOF have been better than those of Luis Aparicio at the time and he boasts his plaque on the Living room of the Fame MLB, so the legendary winner of 11 Gold Gloves should not feel pressured.
