The Resume

    (February 5, 1968- )
    All Star winner of nine Golden Gloves

    Lifetime .300 hitter
    American League Championship Series MVP (1992)

Why he might be annoying:

    During an argument with umpire John Hirshbeck, after Hirschbeck ejected Alomar for arguing a third strike, Alomar spit in his face (September 27, 1996).
    In a post game interview, he claimed Hirschbeck was not the same person since his young son died of a rare disease.
    Hirschbeck on hearing about this charged into the locker room looking for Alomar, but cooler heads prevailed.
    Due to this incident, Alomar was booed throughout the 1996 playoffs and much of the 1997 season, even by his hometown Baltimore Oriole fans.
    He offered a written apology, which most believe was written for him, and was given a five day suspension.
    He argued with his Cleveland Indian manager, Charlie Manuel, prompting him being traded to the New York Mets (2001).
    Alomar was upset that Manuel did not stand up for him when he got hit by a pitch (ie - have their pitcher hit a player on the opposition) (2001).

Why he might not be annoying:

    A year following his incident of spitting in umpire John Hirshbeck's face, they shook hands and publicly made up.
    Alomar has donated his time and money to help find a cure for what John Hirshbeck's son died from.
