Alomar played 15 years in the big leagues from 1964 to 1978. His best run came during a six-year stretch with the California Angels, with whom he was an All-Star in 1970. He was also a part of the 1976 New York Yankees squad that reached the World Series.

He later went into coaching and managing, holding positions with the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets and Colorado Rockies, as well as with the Puerto Rican national team.
He was a coach for the Padres in 1988 when both of his sons made their big-league debuts with the club. Sandy Alomar Jr. made one plate appearance as a 22-year-old catcher that season, and Roberto, a 20-year-old at the time, won the starting second baseman spot and played 143 games.
Sandy Alomar Jr. went on to become a six-time All-Star across 20 big-league seasons, and Roberto became a 12-time All-Star who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.
