[edit] Biography

Rex Allen Hudler (nicknamed the "Wonder Dog") is a former Major League Baseball infielder-outfielder. He was born on September 2, 1960, in Tempe, Arizona. He played a total of thirteen seasons after being a first round draft pick of the New York Yankees in 1978. He is currently the color commentator for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim broadcasting team alongside play-by-play announcer Steve Physioc. He is also the color commentator for the PS2 and PSP game MLB '06: The Show, along with Dave Campbell and Matt Vasgersian.

He played for 6 different Major League Baseball teams throughout his career: the New York Yankees (1984-1985), Baltimore Orioles (1986), Montreal Expos (1988-1990), St. Louis Cardinals (1990-1992), California Angels (1994-1996), and Philadelphia Phillies (1997-1998). He also played for the Yakult Swallows of the Japanese Central League in 1993 as the starting third baseman. During his playing career in Japan, he contributed to the team's back-to-back league championship and its second-ever Japan Series championship since its first title in 1978. While there, he gained the nickname "Worm Eater" for his habit of snacking on worms in the club's dugout.

During his career, he played every position on the field at one point or another, with the exception of pitcher.

Hudler was hospitalized in 2001 with a brain aneurysm. He was suspended briefly from his broadcast job in 2003 after being arrested at Kansas City International Airport for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He currently lives in Tustin, California.

He is also the president of the non-profit organization Team Up For Down Syndrome, which raises money for public awareness, housing, education, job training, family counseling and health care for those living with Down Syndrome. Hudler and his wife Jennifer have a 10-year old son who was born with the chromosomal condition.
