Roberto Alomar's bloodlines run rich with baseball tradition. His father Sandy Alomar Sr., played 15-years in the major leagues as an All-Star second baseman and Roberto's older brother Sandy Jr., was an All-Star catcher during his 20 year career.

At the young age of 20, Roberto Alomar broke into the major leagues during the 1988 season with the San Diego Padres. He quickly impressed the baseball world displaying spectacular defensive plays highlighting his excellent lateral range. Alomar spent three seasons in a Padres uniform launching his storied career by batting .295 and stealing 42 bags during the 1990 season.

Before the 1991 season Roberto Alomar was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. It would be in Toronto that he established himself as one of the greatest second baseman in baseball history. Over his five year span as a Blue Jay he batted an impressive .307, won the Gold Glove every year, and was a member of the All Star Team every year. To supplement his threat at the plate Alomar was a nuisance to pitchers stealing 50 bases in two different seasons.

Roberto Alomar carried his solid regular season play into the post season helping the Blue Jays capture back to back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993. His home run against Dennis Eckersley in the 1992 ALCS is considered by many the second most important hit in club history behind Joe Carter's World Series winning shot in 1993. Alomar batted over .400 during the ALCS capturing MVP honors.

On April 4th, 2008 Roberto Alomar was elevated to the Level of Excellence at Toronto's Rogers Centre. He is commonly regarded by Blue Jay fans as the best player they have ever had. Alomar stated that if he is elected to Cooperstown he would go in as a Blue Jay. He would be the first.

After becoming a free agent following the 1995 season, Roberto Alomar signed with the Baltimore Orioles. He picked up right where he left off in Toronto, winning the gold glove and being elected to the All Star team every season. He set career highs in 1996 with a .328 batting average, 193 hits, 94 RBIs, and 132 runs scored.

Roberto Alomar joined his brother Sandy Jr, for the 1999 season signing with the Cleveland Indians. It was here in Cleveland Alomar would have his two best seasons. In 1999 he hit .323/.422/.533 with 24 HRs, 120 RBIs and stolen bases, and in 2001 he collected .336/.415/.541, 20, 100 and 30. Alomar finished 3rd in MVP voting following the 1999 season. 2001 marked a historic moment in Alomar's career winning his tenth gold glove the most ever by any second basemen.

Over the last three years of Roberto Alomar's career he spent time as a New York Met, Chicago White Sox, and Arizona Diamondback. Dealing with vision and back problems, Alomar announced his retirement on March 19, 2005. Over a 17-year career, Alomar was a 12 time All Star, winning a record ten gold gloves, four Sliver Slugger awards as a .300/.371/.443 hitter with 210 home runs and 1134 RBI in 2379 games.
