CLEVELAND, Ohio — Sandy Alomar Jr.’s arrival in Cleveland coincided with a great baseball renaissance that carried over to multiple division championships and a pair of World Series appearances, but Alomar’s connection to the city and its fans has only continued to grow in the decades since. On Friday’s podcast, Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga continued looking back at Hoynsie’s 25 most memorable Cleveland baseball personalities during his years on the beat. Alomar’s steady presence, his unmatched skill behind the plate and his knack for making big plays when the club needed him most are some of the highlights that stood out in reflecting on what he means to the franchise.
“I was sitting in upper deck right field when Sandy hit the tying home run off Mariano Rivera in eighth inning of Game 4 of the 1997 ALDS, setting the stage for Omar Vizquel’s game-winning hit in the ninth and a series victory in Game 5. The excitement in the streets after that rally to avoid elimination was about as high as I can remember in my Cleveland sports history.”“One time at Tribefest, Sandy Alomar was a panelist and rushing from room to room.
