It's Friday, Time to Dance

With the inductees for the 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame announced earlier this week and the induction ceremony for Barry Larkin and Ron Santo coming in a few weeks, it's as good a time as any to show a guy who brings about a heated debate on his Hall of Fame credentials. That guy is Omar Vizquel, who busted a move during a two-hour rain delay.



The 45-year-old Vizquel is somehow still in the major leagues, mostly riding the pine in Toronto. There are a whole hell of a lot people who proclaim that if Vizquel gets in, it's only because he is your prototypical stats compiler, a guy who played forever to rack up hits and make his résumé make him out to be a better player than he was.

To those people, I say, sure, you have a point … offensively. But god damn, Omar Vizquel was/is the best defensive shortstop this side of Ozzie Smith, a guy no one complained about making the Hall despite his less-than-Hall-worthy offensive numbers because he was incredible in the field and a truly great player. Well, that description fits Vizquel perfectly. So yeah, Omar Vizquel is a Hall of Famer because he's one of the greatest defensive shortstops of all time.
