Mo Vaughn was one of the most feared hitters of his generation. ‘The Hit Dog’ spent the best part of his career, nearly a decade, with the Boston Red Sox. The three time All-Star and 1995 AL MVP finished his career with a batting average just shy of .300 while belting well over 300 home runs and driving in over 1,000 runs.
He’s been busy since his career ended, working in real estate, business and even starting his own line of big and tall clothing.
Vaughn signed cards for the recently released 2020 Topps Archives Signature Series Retired Player Edition series. On episode 6 of Off Center, he talked with me about his first autograph experience, seeing himself on a trading card for the first time and his love and admiration for baseball history.
