Roberto Alomar's retirement today deserves some mention. While his last several seasons were far below his standard, Alomar leaves the game as one of the greatest secondbasemen ever. Alomar's name can rightly be tossed around with players like Joe Morgan and Rogers Hornsby as the elite at the position.
There were few things in baseball Alomar did not do well. The Alomar I will always remember was a middle infielder who could run, throw, hit for average, hit for power and oh, how he could field. I doubt anyone has ever played secondbase with the same flair and grace.
It may be a long time before we see another secondbaseman as good as Roberto Alomar.
