MIAMI (AP) -- A former major league hitter was acquitted of drug conspiracy charges Tuesday, after his attorney argued that his low IQ prevented him from understanding that he had agreed to a drug deal.
Federal prosecutors argued that Pedro Guerrero, formerly of the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals, told an undercover agent and an informant that he would guarantee payment for a $200,000 cocaine shipment.
But Guerrero's lawyer, Milton Hirsch, told the jury that the four-time National League All-Star and co-MVP of the 1981 World Series was duped by his friend, Adan "Tony" Cruz.

Meh. He's messed up. But for a tribute like that I don't think they would snub him.
I suspect they might invite pretty much anyone/everyone who was on that roster and whatever that thing was where he did cocaine with O.J.'s girlfriend for a couple days or whatever. Not sure.
I guess it's possible they snub him but this is the same organization that employed Steve Howe for a decent stretch afterall:
* 1982 — Enters drug rehabilitation after the season.
* June 29, 1983 — Fined one month's salary ($53,867) and placed on probation by the Dodgers after admitting a drug problem.
* July 15, 1983 — Reported late for game and suspended two days by the Dodgers.
* September 23, 1983 — Missed team flight to Atlanta and suspended indefinitely by the Dodgers for what the team says is cocaine dependency. Goes into substance abuse rehabilitation.
* December 15, 1983 — Suspended for one year by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for cocaine use.
* May 1984 — In a grievance settlement, agreed not to play in 1984.
* June 23, 1985 — Fined $300 by Los Angeles for arriving three hours late for a game.
* July 1, 1985 — Placed on the restricted list by the National League for three days at the Dodgers' request after missing a game against Atlanta. Released by the Dodgers two days later.
