Hudler's dope bust was ten years ago, and he wasn't playing, he was a TV guy for the Angels:
Angels' TV analyst Rex Hudler arrested for marijuana possession
September 4, 2003
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Anaheim Angels broadcaster Rex Hudler was arrested at Kansas City International Airport over the weekend for investigation of misdemeanor marijuana possession, a team spokesman said Wednesday.
Hudler, 42, was arrested Sunday and released after posting bond.
``We've been informed of the incident Sunday and at this point in time, it is a legal matter so we really don't have any further comment,'' said Tim Mead, Angels vice president of communications.
Asked if Hudler would work the television booth Friday when the Angels host Kansas City, Mead said he couldn't comment.
A call seeking comment from Kansas City police was not returned. Kansas City TV stations reported that Hudler's arraignment was set for Oct. 15.
Hudler is in his fifth season as the Angels' baseball television analyst. Hudler retired after 21 years playing for 18 professional baseball teams, including the 1994-96 seasons as an infielder and outfielder with the Angels.
