Robbie Alomar

This is very sad and very shocking.

Baseball great Roberto Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex, his ex-girlfriend charged Tuesday in a bombshell lawsuit.

Wow - just wow! If true then this is shocking and tragic. If false then this is shocking and outrageous.

I've long been in the camp believing that Roberto Alomar is a Hall of Fame player. I can't help but think that many close-minded voters will use this to hold back from giving Alomar his (or her) vote. It's sad but true but if Alomar has full-blown AIDS then I think his chances of getting voted into the Hall of Fame will hit a brick wall.
