Brotherly love stays on deck in league championship series
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Alomar vs. Alomar is not a divorce proceeding; it is becoming an annual ritual in the American League playoffs.
Last year, Roberto's spitting incident dominated the first-round series, when Baltimore defeated Cleveland in four games. This time, it is Sandy's bat that is getting the attention as the Indians and Orioles prepare for tonight's start to the AL championship series.
One Alomar definitely is going to the World Series. The Alomars' family members have not told them for whom they are rooting.
It is hard to go wrong with either. Roberto's an eight-time All-Star; Sandy's has played in the All-Star game five times.
"Ask my mom and dad that when they're here tomorrow," Sandy said. "And I want to know what the answer is. Tell me the truth."
But ever since Sept. 27, 1996, the night Roberto spit at umpire John Hirschbeck in Toronto, the Alomars' accomplishments have been overshadowed by the Alomar
This season has been one of role reversal. Sandy was healthy, playing in 100 games in consecutive seasons for the first time and setting career highs with a .324 average, 21 homers and 83 RBIs. And then there was that game-tying, eighth-inning homer in Game 4 against the New York Yankees on Sunday night, saving the Indians from elimination.
Roberto was limited to 112 games by the five-game suspension from the Hirschbeck incident, a sprained left ankle, a pulled right groin and a right shoulder strain. Usually a switch-hitter, injuries have prevented him from hitting right-handed since May 31.
"You tend to look at his offensive statistics, but the way he has developed and helped our pitching staff and his game-calling has helped us win ballgames as much as his offense," said Mike Hargrove. Indians manager.
He hit .333 with 14 homers and 60 RBIs, down from career bests of 22 homers and 94 RBIs the previous year.
"The only reason this season is
expectoration.
