When the Philadelphia Phillies hired a former baseball player named Pedro Guerrero in November to serve as their assistant hitting coach, Roxanna Guerrero received an outpouring of messages.

“Everyone was calling to say congratulations,” she said.

All of the calls, though, went to the wrong place. See, Roxanna is married to a Pedro Guerrero, just not that one. Her husband is the flamboyant former infielder and outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals, the five-time All-Star, and a co-winner of the 1981 World Series Most Valuable Player Award. He is 62.

She is not married to the Pedro Guerrero employed by the Phillies. He is 29.

The people who called were not the only ones to be confused by the two Guerreros. This case of mistaken identity has been going on for much of the younger Guerrero’s career. Thanks to a job as a major league coach and the success of the surprising, young, National League East-leading Phillies, the younger Guerrero has gotten more attention, albeit misdirected attention.

As a player and a coach in the Dodgers’ minor league system, Guerrero received at least two dozen requests a year to sign baseball cards of the other Pedro Guerrero. This year alone, he said, he has received 71 cards and counting.
