Vladimir Guerrero officially inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — During his 16-year career, Vladimir Guerrero rarely left fans wanting more, although his speech on Sunday as he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame may have been an exception.
Guerrero was always a man of few words, and he held true to that reputation on Sunday in Cooperstown, NY, in a brief speech that lasted less than four minutes and was translated from Spanish.
“I’m happy and relieved it’s behind me,” he admitted afterwards at a press conference. “All I wanted to do was deliver the goods today.”
“I’m not timid, but it’s not something natural for me,” he continued. “I know that after my election to the (Hall of Fame), I’ll have to do more of that.”
