About Wilton Guerrero

Wilton Álvaro Guerrero (born October 24, 1974) is a Dominican former professional baseball second baseman. He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1996–1998), Montreal Expos (1998–2000, 2002), Cincinnati Reds (2001–2002), and Kansas City Royals (2004) of Major League Baseball. He is the older brother of Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, cousin of Cristian Guerrero, and uncle of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.. According to MLB official records, Wilton Guerrero was born on October 24, 1974. However, this date is believed to be incorrect given the fact that his brother Vladimir was born less than four months later on February 9, 1975. Vladimir's birth date was originally listed as February 9, 1976, but he was revealed to be a year older in 2009. At this time, Wilton no longer played in the Major Leagues, making it likely that nobody noticed or cared about correcting Wilton's birth date. He was a utility player and played strong defense at any position he played. Although he had the ability to hit for average, he had limited power. A switch hitter, most of his power came while batting right handed. He hit only 3 of his 11 career home runs while batting left handed despite many more career at-bats from that side.
