The Fletcher Family

Decades of Play

What Dodger lead a bench clearing brawl in 1988?

Pedro Guerrero is arguably the greatest hitter in Los Angeles Dodgers history. Born June 29, 1956 in the Dominican Republic, he played all or part of fifteen seasons. He played first, third and outfield for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1978-1988) and St. Louis Cardinals (1988-1992).

A third generation of Fletchers entered pro baseball’s ranks when Darrin was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers following an All-America season in 1987. On Sept. 10, 1989, 22-year-old Darrin made his major league debut. Unlike his predecessors, this Fletcher caught pitches instead of throwing them during a career highlighted by an appearance in the 1994 All-Star Game and an 80-RBI season in 1999.
