==Early life==
Pedro Guerrero was born June 29, 1956, in San Pedro de Macoris on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. Guerrero was barely a teenager when he left school to help support his family cutting cane for the island's rum industry. His earnings were less than $3 US a week for the heavy field labor. The young teenager provided for his divorced mother and siblings by day, but enjoyed playing the drums during the evening and participating in organized baseball on weekends. By age 16, the hard-hitting Guerrero stood out amongst his peers in a local youth league, primarily at third base.
Latin scouting pioneer Reggie Otero, representing the Cleveland Indians, traveled to San Pedro to scout Guerrero. Otero described his first impression of the Dominican prodigy: "He was five-feet-11, 157 pounds. I looked at the width of his shoulders, back and front, and knew that he would get heavier and stronger. He had lived off of rice and beans." 〔Kaplan, Jim. "A Bolt Out Of The Dodger Blue." Sports Illustrated. August 5, 1985〕 In late 1972, Otero offered Guerrero a pro contract, which included a $2,500 bonus to be paid out on New Year's Day of 1973.
