Didn't expect to read this first thing this morning...

I hope it's not true but if it is, I pray for him. Sports and life are two entirely different things. He was and still is one of my favorite players ever.

What a terrible sad story...I am speechless. I hope for everyone involved that it is not true but my guess is that at a minimum he tested positive or else this woman will probably have a massive libel lawsuit on her hands. It would be hard to make up a story more bizzare than this.

Shocking as much as it is sad.

I, too, sure hope the story isn't true.

Alomar was with the DBacks for a year, back in '04, and I remember in what esteem his teammates always seemed to hold him. Somebody told me that after the last game of the season, all the other players lined up at Robby's locker for autographs and souvenirs - that's rare.

I can't image what that umpire who Roberto spit on awhile ago is thinking about now.

Denial means deferred treatment. Not good. Look at how well Magic Johnson has handled it for decades now. Hope Robby gets the same breaks.
