jasonxctf Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 CLEVELAND – Sandy Alomar Jr.'s baseball career has brought him back home. The Indians' popular former All-Star catcher has been hired by new Cleveland manager Manny Acta as the team's first-base coach. Alomar had spent the past two seasons as a catching instructor for the New York Mets. He will also mentor Cleveland's catchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Alomar has a great nose for the game. Good luck to him. As long as that luck doesn't beat the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as that luck doesn't beat the White Sox. Well, with my luck, whenever I go to a Sox-Indian's game something bad will happen now. Last time I was at a game where Alomar played, he fouled a ball off me, and a fat lady stole it. Robbing an 11 year old of a baseball = Not cool, not cool at all. But then I got Miguel Olivo to sign my hat, so it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security almost did, because I was crying (I mean, seriously, snatching balls from little kids?) and they came to see if the foul ball hurt me.

Two hands youngin'; make the catch I remember there was a fair amount of threads here where we predicted he will make an excellent coach/manager. Best of luck to Sandy.
