Mo Vaughn was really good at hitting baseballs, but he was and is a lot more than that. His team invited us to pick his brain and get his perspective, leading to a team-up on chronicling his career...

Mo Vaughn was my favorite player during my childhood. It’s too bad the Red Sox didn’t have more success with him, especially in 1998, which was arguably his best season. It’s also crazy to think we went from Mo Vaughn to David Ortiz so quickly.
Mo was the man before Ortiz was here
Yo Robbie, cool to see you here! Although… are we really calling 1998 better than his MVP season in 1995?
@@Gemnist98 yes, look at the numbers. 8:07 Arguably 96, 98, and maybe 97 were all better than 1995. I Love Mo, but by strictly numbers, Albert Belle clearly should’ve won MVP in 1995. Belle just wasn’t a great guy at the time and the press hated him and wouldn’t give him quite enough votes. Mo won by just 1 vote.
guess you could say the red sox, mo vaughn'd
@@sen6728 ayyyyyyy great joke
The 90’s were a time where every team seemed to have 4 elite sluggers and Mo still stood out
What a human. Thank you for this, remember watching him play but never heard much after his career. I appreciate this
I got to see Mo Vaughn almost on a daily basis when he was in the Minors at Pawtucket. He really was the nicest guy who would sign autographs after the game for anyone that wanted one. He never turned anyone away and it was day after day. He was easily my favorite player and I’m happy with what he accomplished and is doing in life. Thanks for putting this video out!
Mo was a favorite player of mine as a kid. He was a great guy and exciting to watch.
I'm a long time Mets fan and I always loved Mo but after watching this video, I gained even more respect for him
His swing was such a beautiful combination of controlled aggression, I freaking loved it.
My favorite Red Sox player back in the mid 90s. The hit dog crushes baseballs. Very clutch. 93 just hit sticked George Bell when he tried to charged the mound after getting plunked by Aaron Sele
Great video. I'm glad Mo did an interview with you.
Fantastic Video. Great to actually hear from him directly, it must've been so great to actually sit down with him.
An unbelievable and humbling experience for sure
i absolutely love this interview Mo was one of my favorite player as a kid class act all the way around my guy!!!
Funnily enough, Buddy Groom was also one of the last players to wear 42, being the last one to do so for the Athletics in 96-97.
loved Mo Vaughn solely because of his weird stance, but he was a stud. I remember highlights of his long balls on Baseball tonight all the time.
Absolutely a class act.
M0 was awesome. Yanks fan but rocked a Vaughn shirt.
I remember playing Ken Griffey Jr baseball and making sure Mo ended up on my team.
Awesome video on an amazing player
Albert Belle was the 1995 MVP period biggest snub in history.
Mo Vaughn was an absolute animal. hit for great avg too
20000 families ❤
Trying to help an putting his momey were his mouth is... thats amazing 👏 thanks for the moments. An thank you even more for being a super role model..
Your a even better man then player an brother thats kinda amazing considering your top 1%
❤❤❤❤❤ sorry you left wish you were here in 2004
As a Red Sox fan, he was my favorite player until David Ortiz showed up. I started watching and playing baseball in 1995, the year he won MVP. I remember one of the first games I saw him in was the 1995 All-Star Game. He was an amazing HR and AVG hitter and drove in so many runs. He should have stayed in Boston. But would we have gotten Ortiz if that happened? Who knows?
Mo Vaughn.
Back in 1992, I was 13. I paid $15 for him to sign a baseball card, at a card show. He took the card, continued talking to some boxer sitting next to him, sign the card, and slid it back to me. He never even said hi to me.
So, you can guess what think about Mo Vaughn.
His swing reminds me of a lefty Ryan Braun
I'll take a triple over a home run every time.
Jesus Christ that man looks like even more of a monster than when he played.
FOXY LADY CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
my mind is blown Moe stole 11 bases 😁
It totally matters who's hitting em
A Mo Vaughn video? Hell yeah, he used to smash baseballs so angrily. One of the many stars from the Red Sox 90s.
I loved watching Mo Vaughn growing up. Very underrated, hope he gets into the HOF. If you're Telling the story of baseball, you should include Mo Vaughn.
Mo had one crazy year when I was growing up as a Mets fan and then he just disappeared. My family used to have a running joke “Where in the world is Mo Vaughn”. Great video and that homer as a met is legendary
Hell yeah, Mo Vaughn was awesome. .293 lifetime hitter with a .906 OPS, 328 HR's, 3 top 5 MVP seasons, and the 1995 AL MVP award. Also raked with runners on base. Awesome video, too!
Literally every baseball aware person in New England imitated his stance at one point or another, and many had his poster on our wall. Underrated, hate he had health issues once he left us. And such a good human.
What a champion. I was too young to appreciate his best years, but I remember him being the talk of the town during his last few with the red sox. My Dad probably talked about him more than any other player.
Ken Griffey Jr & Mo Vaughn were my top 2 favorite players growing up. Great vid!
I met Mo Vaughn once. When I was 11 years old, my father enrolled me in Mo Vaughn hitting camp at Northeastern University. He saw a couple of imperfections in my swing and helped me fix them. One other cool fact is that there was a pitcher there too throwing BP. Maybe you’ve heard of Mike Maddux? 😊
Greg's brother
He was truly an out of this world hitter. I remember him being good, but I was pretty young back in those days. Also, he seems like such a humble and down to earth good hearted guy. Great interview and video.
I took a few swings at Mo’s batting cages in Hingham, MA back around the time of his retirement. A legend in Boston, even with his short run. Awesome insights from the man.
As a kid growing up an hour from Fenway during his heyday, I marveled at his unique stance, seemingly *made* to launch them over Pesky’s pole.
Thank you so much for this, both of you. 👊🏼
Bruh. YOU INTERVIEWED MO FREAKIN VAUGHN!
W O W! 😯👌🙏
Mo Vaughn's first home run was a 438 foot shot down the line that was 5 rows from going completely out of memorial stadium, he would've been the 7th to do it. I remember sitting there watching it on TV, he got our attention real fast, and he never looked back. Before Big Papi, there was The Hit Dawg.
ok this is epic
Out of all the power hitters from the 90s it seems like Mo Vaughn always
gets overlooked. Glad this video was done.
It really came down to his early retirement and being named in the Mitchell Report. Once that happened, his legacy was tainted.
I am really glad I watched this. Mr. Vaughn is far more than a ball player.
Mariano Rivera was the last African American player to wear 42
He was definitely a great player and a lot of fun to watch.
I worked for one of his companies for three years and he really is a nice guy.
That is an absolute unit of a man.
You’re definitely talking about Mike, right?
Of course
What a great guy. Having gotten into baseball in 2016 I have never really heard of him. I’m really glad you made this and he was so willing to help you with it
I love/hate those scoreboard homeruns because you always wonder what the flightpath would have been. Also foul pole HRs.
Every time I played Triple Play 2000 I would trade for Mo Vaughn because he was a OP.
My first ever MLB game was Boston vs the Tigers at Fenway in early October of 1991. What a game, not only did I see a young MV, who would quickly become my favorite childhood player, but also saw the likes of Wade Boggs and Ceacel Fielder play along with Joe Morgan and Sparky Anderson managing. Boston won 5 to 3 and to this day is one of the best memories of my life.
One of my fondest memories was getting to watch Mo, Frank Thomas, and Albert Belle mash in the Home Run Derby in Texas in 1995. It was like 120 degrees and Thomas wound up winning. Great video and awesome interview!
This guy is everything you want in a player mentally. He exudes confidence through preparedness.
A few more good years and he would have got his place in the hall. Glad to see a larger channel covering his career.
He could have been David Ortiz but then he got hungry.
Mo not dirty like that
Always respected the guy, saw him play in 1999 in Anaheim (with a walk-up song "Power"), and saw him in an airport once...and yet Albert Belle should have been the 1995 AL MVP. Everyone knew that what allowed Big Mo to win that MVP was the fact that Albert Belle was...kind of unlikeable.
I will always remember Mo Vaughn's career fondly. He wasn't at his best when he was with my favorite team, the Mets, but he created moments with his raw, unadulterated power. If Cooperstown opened up a wing for players that were very good but not the greatest of their generation, Mo would be one of the featured players of the 90's.
Yo my guy. Salute to this video… Mo was a beast and brought swag back to the Red Sox. It’s the same DNA that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz would adopt years later.
Mariano Rivera was the last to wear #42
I think he is saying Mo was the last African American, non-hispanic person to wear it. Rivera is hispanic
I'd have to rewatch, but I can see that
Mo Vaughn and Mariano Rivera both wore number 42 after baseball retired Jackie Robinson’s number 42 league wide. That’s an incredible accomplishment. Showing some respect to the first man that brought the color barrier.
Dang that takes me back. Wakefield 12-1….. Stuart Scott RIP….. The mid 90s was a wonderful time in baseball, if you ignore the strike and the steroids……
Sorry for the trolling, but there is no way Mo won MVP over Belle is '95. Writers are so touchy. Albert hurt their feelings. ⚾️💥
My Dad also sings the praises of George "Boomer" Scott. Who was our big first baseman who mashed back for the Sox back in the 60s/70s.
Although Scott was remembered more for his exceptional defense.
I think his first one with the sox was over 430, an incredible blast for back then
Also a cool guy. I met him at a card show when he was in the minors. No one in line. I watched him drive in in a pretty beat up Bronco.
Signed a bat that i still have.
Unfortunately I also had Phil Plantier sign the same bat after. He was an exciting player who never really panned out.
You should look at Cecil Fielder his time in Detroit was just amazing. As a Yankees fan he has a pivotal moment in Yankees history and summed up how Yankees fans were done with George in the early 90's. The day Steinbreener was suspended from baseball the crowd did a standing ovation when the news broke, then immediately after Cecil playing for Detroit hit a Porch Job. That summed up how bad the Yankees were before 1993.
Cecil finished 2nd in MVP voting in back to back years,one of those years was to Cal Ripken Jr. The voters refused to give it to him twice because the Tigers were really bad. Did I mention he hit an absolute moonshot out of Milwaukee County Stadium and almost hit one out of Tiger Stadium.
Cecil deserves praise for the power he had in the 90's instead of just being Prince's father.
One of my fav sluggers of my early childhood. His cousin played for my Rays for a while, but he was past his 50hr a season. I dont think he was eating as healthy a breakfast as he did in San Diego
I always used him and Frank Thomas in the home run Derby on Sega😂
It's crazy to think that Mo Vaughn won AL MVP in the same league as Prime Thome, Thomas, Henderson, Griffey, Gonzo and Pudge 👀
Great vid, great guy, but no mention of ROIDS? I realize that he's playing against others on ROIDS, but it should be noted. His numbers are incredibly inflated by substance abuse.
Big MO Vaughn Trucking...you need it shipped? MO's your guy!
THANK YOU!!
For about a 5-6 year stretch, this momster was among the top 10 scariest dudes in the box.
Him, Albert Belle, Ken Griffey JR, and Frank Thomas were the only guys from that era that didn’t use steroids.
Being a Yankess fans as well as a baseball fan back then was wild because I'd wanna watch Yankees win 3-1 with that one run being a Vaughn home run into the Hudson. It's incredible.
I remember in 95, when he gave a kid a bat, the kid kept exclaiming, I got Mo Vaughn’s bat! Onions moment for sure.
Before Nomar, Mo was the man in Boston. He was my first favorite player as a kid. He opened up batting cages in my hometown in MA “Hit Dawg!”
I wish I could get a ball I hit to go at least 200 feet lol😂
Bro you can’t just send a guy back to his childhood like that without some warning, never in my life would I be reminded of the fucking Jimmy Neutron baseball flash game until you pulled it out of nowhere.
Love Mo!.I met him in the mid 90’s,when I was a teen, after a game and he was incredibly nice to me..and everyone there!!.Class Act!!
Mo Vaughn was one of the most feared hitters in the mid 90s. It was like every home run he hit was an absolute moonshot. I was heartbroken when he left the Red Sox, and I think that cursed his career as the injury bug hit in a big way and ended it just a few years later. He never should've left Boston, but with the Red Sox ownership and upper management at the time, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that any big Red Sox star wouldn't finish their career with the team.
THANK YOU for doing a Hit Dog video! I grew up idolizing the guy in the 90s
Backyard Baseball 2001 legend! As a kid watching him hit was awesome! Congrats on getting to interview him!
The controlled destruction in that swing. Absolute power. I’ve never seen a more violent swing in baseball in my life.
Mo got those Bobby Bonilla Mets bucks at the end of his career. Almost half of his $100 million career earnings were checks written by the Mets.
Big Mo. My favorite baseball player of all time. Smacked a lot of dingers whenever he came here in my hometown of Toronto
When I was 10 years old I was able to do a trip with my two buddies and our dads to visit the east coast baseball parks and the hall of fame. I saw Mo Vaughn get out of a limo before the game and he was the largest human I had ever seen. The nicest guy and I was able to play with his cousins son Cory Vaughn in Sacramento
My dad’s good friend played baseball against mo vaughn at trinity pawling high school. As you drive by the diamond the road is about 475 or so feet from home plate feet in right. Mo used to hit them over the road in high school. He also played football against him and he apparently got absolutely barreled over by him once or twice.
Mo Vaughn was one of my favorites growing up.
Another player that makes me despise the Baseball Hall of Fame. They should call it the Baseball Hall of Statistics and Media Popularity
I honestly didn't know who he was but now that guy is a legend in my book. Would've been awesome to see him play back in the day.
It’s crazy how good of an overall hitter he was with his stance only looking like it was designed to obliterate baseballs. He was one of my favorite players on my most despised team.
!!!love the Mr. Ballen theme at the end by the way!!!
Love you Mo , i remember going to sleep while watching baseball tonight on ESPN , your home runs were epic , thanx for the memories sir
As a Yankee fan I dreaded to see him come up to bat. But admired him because he played all out all the time. Class act which Papi is not. But Mariano Rivera was the last player to wear 42 on his jersey and was cleared by MLB to be the last to wear it.
Didn’t Manny drive in 160 RBI a couple years after….
As a Braves fan I can remember that bomb from my childhood 🤦🏻♂️
The interview with Vaughn was a great surprise. He's very insightful and well spoken
I didn’t know about him and being the last black player to wear 42. Thank you and shout out Mo
I loved mo vaughn. when he got a hold of one, oh shit. he didnt have anything to do with steroids either, that dude was naturally a giant human. I mean look at him now, hes the same size. mountain of a man lol.
Incredible video. Always was a huge fan of Mo Vaughn.
No segment of the video dedicated to Mo Vaughn coo adjustments from the on-deck circle, dislike.
