Former Dodgers All-Star Pedro Guerrero Hospitalized After Suffering Stroke

Former MLB outfielder Pedro Guerrero is on life support in a New York hospital after suffering a stroke Monday, his stepdaughter has confirmed.

According to an ESPN.com report, Guerrero suffered his second stroke "in the past few years" and is fighting for his life.

The 60-year-old was hospitalized in the Dominican Republic in 2015 after suffering bleeding in his brain.

A five-time All-Star, Guerrero played 15 MLB seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. He won the 1981 World Series MVP award while with the Dodgers and was a 1982 Silver Slugger. On four different occasions, Guerrero finished in the top five in regular-season MVP voting. 

Guerrero's MLB career ended in 1992, finishing with 215 home runs and 898 runs batted in. He had a slash line of .300/.370/.480 and was surprisingly versatile despite having a reputation as a poor defensive player. At various points in his career, he played first base, second base, third base and every outfield position.

Guerrero also spent years suffering from alcoholism and was arrested in 1999 on drug charges after attempting to purchase cocaine. He was later acquitted of drug conspiracy charges.
