Roberto Alomar is not a sexy name in baseball. He didn’t have the caché of a big market for the majority of his career. He didn’t hit a prodigious number of home runs, he wasn’t accused of taking steroids, and he never won an MVP. During his seventeen-season career, the words you would use to describe him would have been excellent, workmanlike, and consistent. He rarely found himself the subject of much attention, and he seemed to prefer it that way. Who needs attention when you are quietly the best player at your position since the legendary Joe Morgan?
Unfortunately, all of that nondescript excellence only made his moment of weakness seem all the more glaring.
