Roberto Retires
It's official, Roberto Alomar has retired.
"I played a lot of games and I said I would never embarrass myself on the field," Alomar said. "I had a long career, but I can't play at the level I want to play, so it's time to retire."
He said he had doubts even entering camp.
"I just can't go anymore," Alomar said. "My back, legs and eyes aren't the same."
My discussion of Alomar's Hall of Fame chances is here.
