| 1989 Bowman |
Roberto Alomar has an interesting place in my heart. First of all, he went into the Hall of Fame as a Blue Jay playing under one of the people I detest the most in baseball - Cito Gaston. A) Cito Gaston didn't pitch Mike Mussina in the All-Star Game at Camden Yards in 1993 and B) he coached Carlos Delgado. Now, from an honest perspective Carlos Delgado isn't a half-bad guy. However, in the 1995 season he went up to rob a home run in an Orioles-Blue Jays game during batting practice and popped me in the face with his glove. The whole crowd booed him but that offered no solace to the fat lip I received in BP. Besides that, there was the whole spitting instance in Baltimore. But, nonetheless, Alomar is a deserved Hall of Famer and so, I collect him. Here is my collection so far: 1989 Bowman, 1990 Topps Stickers, with Wade Boggs on the back, 1992 Donruss Triple Play, 2005 Fleer Tradition and 2012 Panini Cooperstown.
