Someone needs to tell these jackass writers, that the numbers are supposed to merit who makes it and who doesn't get in. Alomar did drop-off, but not for a second, do I think any pompous writer who doesn't vote for Alomar is doing it because of that reason. Their sanctimonious assholes, make up their minds about someone and come hell or high water, will find away to make someone wait, even if it's undeserving.
As for the spitting incident. What matters is that John Hirshbeck has forgiven Roberto Alomar.
