Sandy Alomar Sr., a longtime Major League Baseball infielder and the father of stars Sandy Alomar Jr. and Roberto Alomar, has died at 81, MLB announced Monday.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Major League player and coach Sandy Alomar Sr.
The Puerto Rico native played for six different teams across his 15-year playing career and was an American League All-Star for the Angels in 1970. He totaled 227 stolen bases,… pic.twitter.com/hNT9fcZx8I

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.

2025 NFL defensive line rankings ahead of Week 7: Browns continue to lead the way
Steelers defensive line dominates the Browns: The Steelers’ pass-rush trio of Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt overwhelmed the Browns’ offensive line and rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel throughout the game. With Cleveland frequently leaving its tackles on islands, Watt posted his best outing of the season, earning an 87.1 overall grade. Highsmith made a strong return to action with an 84.6, but it was Herbig who stole the show with his 94.8 grade, the highest of any defensive player in the NFL for the week. The Broncos continue to pace the league in total pressures: Nik Bonitto leads the way with 25 pressures and also tops the NFL with eight sacks. Jonathan Cooper and Zach Allen aren’t far behind, with 21 and 20 pressures, respectively. The defensive line is the heart of any successful defense, tasked with both disrupting […]
Energie reaguje na zranění Redlicha, na hostování přichází posila z Kladna
„Kuba je pro trenérský štáb známý hráč. Pavel Patera ho trénoval (v Kladně a Mladé Boleslavi - pozn. aut.) a zapadá mu do systému a do role, pro kterou ho bereme. Jsme rádi, že jsme se domluvili s Kladnem v tomto časovém presu. Při počtu zraněných hráčů, které momentálně máme, to pro nás bylo rychlé a dostupné řešení v rámci hokejového trhu,“ říká sportovní ředitel Karlových Varů Jiří Kalous.Strnad v aktuální sezoně nastoupil za Rytíře k sedmi zápasů a nebodoval. Kladenský odchovanec v nejvyšší soutěži odehrál za Kladno, Spartu, Mladou Boleslav a České Budějovice celkem 373 utkání s bilancí 36 gólů a 38 asistencí.Dres Energie by měl poprvé obléknout už v pátek při domácím střetnutí s posledním Litvínovem.
