La Figura de la Semana

Roberto Alomar se retira como jugador


El retiro de Roberto Alomar, doce veces integrante del Equipo de Estrellas, lo coloca como la figura de la semana. El sábado 19 de marzo el puertorriqueño puso fin a una trayectoria de 17 años, en la que se convirtió en uno de los mejores intermedistas en las mayores, terminando su carrera con corto por 2724 imparables. Alomar condujo a los Azulejos de Toronto a dos títulos consecutivos de Serie Mundial en 1992-93 y es considerado un posible integrante del Salón de la Fama a pesar de su declive en las tres últimas temporadas, al rotar por varios equipos. El pelotero de 37 años se vio afectado por problemas de espalda y de vista en las últimas semanas. Alomar, que intentaba jugar su campaña 18 con los Devil Rays de Tampa Bay, usó también el uniforme de los Padres de San Diego, los Orioles de Baltimore, los Indios de Cleveland, los Mets de Nueva York, los Diamonbacks de Arizona y los Medias Blancas de Chicago. Diez veces ganador del Guante de Oro y con promedio de 300 en su carrera, Alomar estaba a sólo 276 hits de los 3.000. El legado de Alomar fue manchado, sin embargo, por un incidente en la temporada del 1996, cuando escupió el rostro del umpire John Hirschbeck. El altercado fue noticia de primera página en todo el país y convirtió a Alomar en blanco del repudio de los aficionados. Su padre Santos jugó 15 temporadas y ahora es coach de los Mets de New York mientras que su hermano Sandy participara en su temporada numero 18.
 


Roberto Alomar retires

The retirement of Robero Alomar, a 12 time All Star, makes him this weeks feature figure. Roberto Alomar retired Saturday, ending a career that spanned 17 years during which he became one of baseball's best second basemen. He led Toronto to consecutive World Series titles in 1992-93 and was considered by many a shoe in for the Hall of Fame until a swift decline the last three seasons as he drifted from team to team. The 37 year old player was hampered by back problems as he tried to play his 18th season, this time with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Alomar also played for San Diego, Cleveland, the New York Mets, Arizona, and the Chicago White Sox during 17 seasons in the major leagues. A 10-time Gold Glove winner and career .300 hitter finished just 276 hits shy of 3,000. Alomar's legacy was tarnished, however, when he spit in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck in 1996 while with Baltimore. The messy confrontation made front-page news all over the country and turned Alomar into a target for angry fans. His father, Sandy, spent 15 seasons in the big leagues and his brother Sandy is going to participate in his 18th season this year.
