Vladimir Guerrero Sr. is a Dominican former professional baseball right fielder and designated hitter inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018. Born February 9, 1975, in Nizao, Dominican Republic, he was signed by the Montreal Expos at age 18 and debuted on September 19, 1996. With Montreal from 1996 to 2003 he emerged as a power-and-average hitter known for driving pitches outside the strike zone and for a powerful throwing arm. Signing with the Angels as a free agent after 2003, he won the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 2004, his first season with the club. He played for the Angels through 2009, then for the Texas Rangers in 2010 and the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, retiring after that season. Over 16 seasons he recorded a .318 batting average, 449 home runs, 1,496 runs batted in and 2,590 hits, with nine All-Star selections and eight Silver Slugger Awards. He is the father of Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Notes

Staged 2026-10-16 under CTL-GOV-006 (The Closer — 747 Program, Wave 13 final packet; a gap-closing packet built from the earlier packets' documented blocked edges). Gate A (2026-10-16): CLEAR — hand-checked against the live graph (3,910 entities): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (CTL-E-5980) exists; no senior/father record under any name form (Vladimir Guerrero, Guerrero Sr., Guerrero Alvino) homed. ID CTL-E-6290 free at staging. Supply: 747 blocked-edge harvest — Census Intake Wave 4 documented the Guerrero Jr. child_of family edge as blocked and called the father the top candidate for a future family-edge pass. SCOPE GATE: national-canon gap-fix endpoint harvested from a documented blocked edge in a merged packet; staged to close that edge, per the Closer brief. No net-worth figures are carried, per packet doctrine. Vital status: LIVING — verified from dated 2025 sources: Bleacher Report (October 21, 2025) reported Guerrero posting photos with his son after Guerrero Jr. won ALCS MVP; Sports Illustrated (October 21, 2025) describes him in the present tense. STATISTICS (counted, sourced, dated 2026-10-16; career figures as the National Baseball Hall of Fame states them): Born February 9, 1975, Nizao, Dominican Republic (HOF; Wikipedia; Latino Baseball). BRIEF CORRECTED BY SOURCES: the commissioning brief's March 27, 1975 birth date is supported by NO opened source and is not carried; at his 1993 signing Guerrero claimed a February 9, 1976 birth date, revealed as 1975 in March 2009 (Wikipedia). Teams: Montreal Expos 1996–2003; Angels 2004–2009 — the brief's Angels span of 2004–2010 is likewise corrected: 2010 belongs to the Texas Rangers; Baltimore Orioles 2011. Debut September 19, 1996; final appearance September 28, 2011. 2004 AL MVP: 39 HR, 126 RBI, 124 runs scored, 366 total bases (HOF). Career: .318 AVG, 449 HR, 1,496 RBI, 2,590 hits, 2,147 games, 477 doubles, 181 stolen bases, .931 OPS (HOF); 9× All-Star, 8× Silver Slugger. Elected January 24, 2018 (92.9%, second ballot); plaque revealed July 29, 2018. Distinction wordings kept separate, never blended: "first Hall of Famer with an Angels logo on his bronze plaque" (HOF plaque article); one of three Dominican-born members among 323, and in his own words the first Dominican hitter in the Hall (AP via ESPN); "First Dominican-born position player in Hall of Fame" (Latino Baseball). A low-quality secondary site's 1,442 RBI figure contradicts the Hall (1,496) and is rejected. Research note: no Britannica biography page for Guerrero was found or opened; the Hall of Fame is the authoritative anchor. MEDIA: map N/A (person); photo HELD with named candidate; chart FILLED (charts/chart-ctl-e-6290-guerrero.svg); video HELD (no matching-entity CTL Short in the Shorts Link Map); audio HELD. MEDIA LAYER (staged 2026-10-16; full per-asset PHOTO-001 records + embed specs in the packet's staged JSON, Drive packet folder): map = N/A (Person records carry no map slot; maps attach to places and institutions.) | visual_assets = HELD: | chart = FILLED (CTL-created chart (black / deep red / gold) built only from this record's sourced statistics and timeline fact) | video = HELD (No matching-entity CTL Short in the Shorts Link Map (shorts-link-map-2026-10-15.json, 233 rows, checked by nam) | audio = HELD (HELD: No CTL-owned or rights-cleared matching-entity audio exists at staging.)
