Alomar Sr. spent 15 years playing in the big leagues ... suiting up for six different teams. He finished his career with a .245 average, 13 home runs and 282 RBIs. While he didn't have much pop, Alomar Sr. was a threat on the basepath, stealing 227 bases during his career.
However, his baseball life didn't end there ... he spent time as a coach for the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies and the New York Mets after retiring from playing.
His two sons -- Roberto and Sandy Jr. -- both starred in The Show in the 1990s and early 2000s. Alomar Jr. was a six-time All-Star over 20 seasons, while Roberto earned 12 All-Star nods -- along with two World Series trophies.
RIP
