That would be the only blemish in his career, alot of fans would probably be surprised to look at his career numbers, I expect Joe Morgan's name to be included in the discussion and his and Alomar's numbers are very close. However I would give the edge to Alomar. The one thing about Alomar is he played his best yrs in Canada and Joe played for the Big Red Machine, Alomar won multiple golden gloves, could beat you with his glove, bat, or on the bases. Seriously other than spitting on an Umpire, he should be a guaranteed 1st ballot Hall of famer.
