Roberto Alomar, né le 5 février 1968 à Ponce, à Porto Rico, a débuté sa carrière avec les Padres de San Diego en 1988. Seulement deux ans plus tard, il a fait parti de l’une des plus importantes transactions de l’histoire du baseball, le 5 décembre 1990. Joe Carter et lui ont pris la direction de Toronto alors que Tony Fernandez, élu au Temple en 2008, et Fred McGriff ont fait le chemin inverse. Alomar, qui a connu une carrière de 17 saisons, a également joué pour les Orioles de Baltimore, les Indians de Cleveland, les Mets de New York, les White Sox de Chicago et les Diamondbacks de l’Arizona, mais son plus long séjour avec une équipe a été avec les Jays, qu’il a mené à deux conquêtes consécutives de la Série mondiale, en 1992 et 1993.

The slick-fielding second baseman was named to the All-Star Game all five years he played in Toronto, and 12 times in all. He also won five of his 10 Gold Glove awards and one of his four Silver Slugger awards while toiling for the Blue Jays. The 1992 ALCS MVP was named Blue Jays Player of the Year in 1991, ’92 and ’95, and later was named to their “Level of Excellence.”

Alomar’s .307 batting average with the Blue Jays ranks him first all-time. He compiled a lifetime .300 BA and a .313 post-season BA. His 206 stolen bases ranks him second to Lloyd Moseby, and he swiped 474 in his career. His .382 on-base percentage during his time with the Blue Jays is fourth-best all-time (his career OBP was .371). Alomar had 832 hits and 55 homeruns with the Blue Jays while amassing 2,724 hits and 210 homers in his 2,379-game career. Alomar was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY on July 24, 2011. Plus on July 31st he had his number 12 retired by the Toronto Blue Jays.
