Actually, I had completely forgotten about that until I read the article. I think he also said something derogatory about his son, who was a special needs child. Still doesn't mean he should be left out of the Hall.It's arguably unfair that Alomar will be judged as much for The Great Spitting Incident of 1996 as for the rest of his sterling career, but these are the issues that tend to stick in the minds of BBWAA voters.

i realize he had a short career, bc of injuries at the end. And the media HATED him....and he was a total hot head. But he still had a great career
