Vaughn was signed by the Boston Red Sox and became the center of their 1993 line-up. He gained the reputation as one of the ‘most feared’ hitters in the American League. With his performance, the Red Sox has earned the American League MVP award in 1995 and was a three-time All-Star selection. He became the most prominent figures for the team aside from his outstanding performance. He has also been involved in a number of charity activities. However, he had an unsettling relationship with the team administrator that led to his becoming of a free agent.

Mo Vaugh then signed with the Anaheim Angels for a whopping $80 million deal, the highest paid contract at that time. He has continued to make record-breaking performances to show his worth. However, he was plagued with injuries in the late 1990's and was seen less frequently on the pitch. In 2001, he joined the New York Mets despite not being as physically fit while he was with the Red Sox. He still made a history after the most phenomenal home runs at Shea Stadium. In 2003, he effectively ended his career when he succumbed to another knee injury. Today, he owns OMNI New York that provides low-cost rehabilitated properties within the New York Metropolitan area.
