Just 1.  But that puts him in the top 0.1% in MLB history.

Feels like he wasn't the best person:

On December 11, 1973, when he was 22 years old, Cedeño was involved in an incident in his native Dominican Republic in which a gun discharged in a motel room, killing a 19-year-old woman who was in the room with him. Authorities said Cedeño and the woman were drinking and playing with a gun when the gun fired, killing the 19-year-old.[5] He was initially charged with voluntary manslaughter[19] and held in prison without bail, while his lawyers negotiated for a reduction of the charge to involuntary manslaughter.[20] He was held for 20 days before he was released on bail.[21] He was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and fined $100.[22] Cedeño's reputation with fans suffered greatly for the remainder of his career,[22] and Cedeño thereafter never achieved a popularity with fans commensurate with his formidable on-field productivity.[5]

In 1992, Cedeño was charged with battery in Orlando, Florida, in an incident involving his then-pregnant girlfriend, Pamela Lamon. This followed a 1988 incident involving Lamon in which Cedeño was charged with assault, causing bodily injury, and resisting arrest.

I had no idea either that Cedeno was that good or that he killed someone.

That $100 fine probably made him think twice about killing anyone else.

I don't even remember Cesar Cedeño, I think most of my baseball knowledge has left me. Getting old is weird...

He played the Joker in the original Batman series as well.

It is my personal belief that the world would be a better place if Cesar Romero's performance was considered the definitive Joker.
