Baseball notes: "Miracle' former Card Guerrero still is alive

‘Miracle’ has former Card Guerrero still alive

It’s “a miracle” that former Cardinals and Los Angels Dodgers slugger Pedro Guerrero is alive, his wife told ESPN. He was hospitalized Monday in New York after suffering a massive stroke.

“It is a miracle that Pedro is alive, completely conscious and speaking clearly two days after a doctor basically declared him brain dead,” Roxanna Guerrero told ESPN on Wednesday. “This is a miracle.”

She told ESPN that doctors initially wanted her to sign a document to disconnect her husband from a life support system and declare him dead, but she refused until she had more information.
