Roberto Alomar, who had been serving as a consultant to Major League Baseball, has been placed on the league’s ineligible list after an investigation into a 2014 sexual misconduct allegation, while the Toronto Blue Jays, who had retired his number, also cut ties with the 12-time All-Star.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement Friday that an independent investigation by an external law firm was conducted into a baseball industry employee’s allegation made earlier this year.

Alomar lost his luster with the fans after his infamous spitting incident.
This was gross and uncalled for.
I don’t have any knowledge of what the 6+ year old sexual misconduct charges involve, but he should have been shown the door for spitting in the umps face. Hell, he could have given the ump Covid!
Sorry. I don’t know the details and haven’t had interest in MLB for many years. NBA the same. And NFL lost me about two years ago.
I simply don’t care.
You’re all on your own.
Bye.
… and yet, Pete Rose isn’t in the HoF. Roberto who?
I would also like to add that Pro Sports is dead to me and will be so until the end of my days.
Spitting on someone is for one purpose only – to challenge the other to a fight. It’s disgusting, and in the case of Alomar, cowardly, because he knew that the umpire would not/could not fight back.
@stirrin’
Funny you should mention that. I happen to offer free dental care to people who spit on me. Coincidence? I think not.
Just pissed that he was back in Toronto and no longer a Blue Jay.
Only Toronto team I like. I was at the game when they won in T-dot! Cito Gaston & Joe Carter!
Had to marry the wife after she took me to that game!
Ad an o’s fan he was a great player but after he spit at that ump even hard-core Baltimore fans wanted no more. Apparently that wasn’t an issue though only a 10 yr old fake charge but whatever
IDGAF. I’m done here.
To summarize, MLB hates all Conservatives, all the black people in Atlanta, and women in general.
Tune in next week when a random MLB manager is caught on film pushing a toddler off a tricyle.
Little background. It was said that the ump called Alomar a slur (referring to his alleged homosexuality), hence the spit. Not condoning it just stating the background. So I was surprised it was a woman making the claim, as the rumor of his sexual preference was rampant when he was playing in the MLB
