Maybe Red Sox history but it’s hard to justify best of the 1990’s era. If you’re mainly basing arguments off of BA, HR, and RBI, then here are the leaders, 1990-1999, of players who spent 80% of their time at 1B.
HR
1) McGwire, 405
2) Palmeiro, 328
3) McGriff, 300
4) Bagwell, 263
4) Vaughn, 263
6) Galarraga, 255
RBI
1) Palmeiro, 1068
2) McGriff, 975
3) Bagwell, 961
4) McGwire, 956
5) Vaughn, 860
6) Galarraga, 859
BA
1) Grace, .310
2) Morris, .307
3) Bagwell, .304
4) Clark, .302
5) Olerud, .301
6) Vaughn, .301
"It's amazing how many club officials read...Fire Brand of the American League." - Peter Gammons
"Run by Evan Brunell...this has perspective and weight to it that goes against the stereotype of the screaming Red Sox fan." - Deadspin
"For in-depth coverage and analysis of everything that happens with the Boston Red Sox, you can’t beat Fire Brand of the American League!" - David Pinto

Big Mo’s MVP award was a sham.

You don’t actually mean that Vaughn was HBP 71 times in one season. He would have been a hurting cowboy. Ouchimama!
