Pedro Guerrero played 15 seasons at First, Third and the Outfield for the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals from 1978 to 1992. (However, he broke into the Majors at Second Base to replace an injured Davey Lopes.) He was a career .300 hitter, with 215 homeruns and 898 RBIs. As a Dodger he made the All Star team four times, and once as a Cardinal. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 1982, coming in second in total bases (308), and third in MVP voting. In the 1981, his five RBIs in the final game earned him a share of the Series MVP award with Ron Cey and Steve Yeager (the first time three players shared the honor.) He was the first Dodger to ever hit 30 homeruns and steal 20 bases, which he did in both 1982 and 1983. June 1985 he hit 15 homeruns, tying a major league record. That year he also reached base 14 consecutive times (two short of Ted Williams record), and led the NL in slugging, OBP and homerun percentage, again coming in third for the MVP.
After rupturing a tendon sliding in Spring Training 1986 and missing most of the season, Pedro won Comeback Player of the Year for 1987 by hitting .338 (highest of any Dodger since Tommy Davis' .346 in 1962.
He was traded to the Cardinals in 1988 when the Dodgers needed John Tudor's pitching on their way to winning the World Series. (Watch for ADiRN John Tudor cache to come soon.]
In 1989 he led the NL with 42 doubles, had a personal best 117 RBIs, hit .311 with 17 homeruns and AGAIN came in third in MVP voting as a Cardinal. After coming in 24th in MVP voting in 1990, his production fell off sharply until a shoulder injury led to his retirement in 1992.
In 2013 he began managing the Vallejo Admirals in the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs.
