Over a 17-year career Alomar had 2,724 hits, 504 doubles, 10 gold gloves, 4 silver sluggers, apart of 2 world series title teams and a 12 time all-star. As you know, Alomar was recently elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. BUT if you ask a lot of Mets fans about Alomar (including myself), this is not the first thing we think of.

What we think of is the 222 games he played as a Met between the 2002-2003 seasons and those memories are not good ones. In the video below I discuss why I’m going to try to remember Roberto Alomar for the great player that he was and try to forget the 2 years he spent in New York as a Met.
