In an era dominated by sluggers putting up prodigious video game power-numbers, Vladimir Guerrero becomes one of the game's most electrifying players, in defiance of the baseball Gods with his five-tool arsenal of hitting for average, power, baserunning insticts, defense and the intercontinetal ballistic missile, he had for a right arm. His unlikely rise to baseball immortality begins in abject poverty in the Dominican Republic, as a fifth grade dropout, playing baseball in his barefeet on the dusty Dominican sandlots, and drinking rain water from the puddles in the Nizao Bani streets. His batting style was unconventional; See the ball, hit the ball, as hard as humanly possible, as he would swing at virtually any pitch offerred up to him, becoming one of the best bad ball hitters the game has ever seen. He was throwback to a different era of ballplayer, when batting gloves were shunned and pine tar covering the bat and helmet was a badge of honor. This week we follow his incredible baseball journey. #VladimirGuerrero #NizaoBani #DominicanRepublic #WiltonGuerrero #FredFerreira #MontrealExpos #FelipeAlou #PedroMartinez #AnaheimAngels #TexasRangers #BaltimoreOrioles
