Alomar Banned

I am sorry I missed this Friday. MLB placed Roberto Alomar on the ineligible list:

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.

“Having reviewed all of the available evidence from the now completed investigation, I have concluded that Mr. Alomar violated MLB’s policies, and that termination of his consultant contract and placement on MLB’s Ineligible List are warranted,” Manfred said.

He is staying in the Hall of Fame, however.

I used to hear rumors about Alomar’s personal life, not about harassment, just an unusual lifestyle. I always took those with a grain of salt, but you always wonder.
