Vladimir Guerrero

Vladimir Alvino Guerrero (born February 9, 1976 in Nizao, Peravia, Dominican Republic) is a Major League Baseball player currently with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Many feel he is the best all-round player in the Majors because he regularly hits for a high average, hits for power, steals bases, has a reputation of having one of the best outfield arms in baseball and fields his position at a high level.

Vladimir was a free agent for the first time after the 2003 season, and he signed with the then-Anaheim Angels, after being courted by several teams. The owner of the Angels, Arte Moreno, is the first Hispanic owner of a Major League ballclub, and Guerrero has cited Moreno's being Hispanic as one motivating factor for choosing the Angels over other teams.
