Sandy Alomar, Sr. ...
Roberto Alomar Velázquez (born February 5, 1968) is a former Major League Baseball player, considered by many to be one of the best second basemen to have ever played the game. ...
Alomar was a highly regarded catcher in the San Diego organization after being named Minor League Player of the Year of the year in 1989, but he was stuck behind Benito Santiago at the major league level. After two short call-ups with the Padres, he finally got his chance at an everyday job after being traded to Cleveland before the 1990 season along with Carlos Baerga, in exchange for Joe Carter. Once in Cleveland, he established himself immediately, becoming the first rookie catcher to start an All-Star game and winning both Rookie of the Year honors and a Gold Glove Award. Despite All-Star appearances in each of the next two years, Alomar began to lose more and more time to injuries and failed to realize his potential for several seasons. He came back strong in the first half of 1996 to make his fourth All-Star team, but then faded in the second half. The Minor League Player of the Year Award is given to an outstanding minor league baseball player by the editors of Baseball America. ...

In 1997, everything finally came together for Alomar. He batted .324, was the MVP of the All-Star game, put together a 30-game hitting streak (one short of Nap Lajoie's Indians record and four short of Santiago's record for catchers), and helped lead Cleveland to their third straight postseason appearance. In the Division Series against the New York Yankees, Alomar hit .316 with two home runs, including a game-tying shot off Mariano Rivera in the eighth inning of Game 4. Though he was less effective against the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS, he still provided a game-winning hit in the ninth inning of Game 4.
