I'm surprised Vizquel got that many votes.
Right? On the public tracker he only had 17 votes with 52% of the votes revealed. He wound up with 76 total votes, so the non-public (likely older) voters really went for him strongly. Clearly the non-public voters value defense more than those who revealed their votes. I cannot say that they place less value on the character criteria because they also still dinged PED users and Beltran.

It’s possible that all 76 Vizquel voters also voted for the PED users and Beltran.

Except the PED votes tailed off whereas Vizquel soared (so to speak).
Who can talk about the Hall of Fame without thinking of this guy? He turns 89 today.
