The Robbie and Bert show.

 "Yeah, you heard me right, 2011. I know it's only 1994 right now. Yes, I want tickets to Cooperstown and a hotel reservation. 2011. Yes, I'm sure."

Nothing says exciting like a little rainbow foil. Thanks TSC! Great action shot though.

"I'm so happy I got out of Minnesota"          "I'm so happy I got out of Cleveland"

Swing Sequences. Roberto Alomar and Carlos Baerga.

 

Two guys who came up with the Padres. In 1985 Robbie was drafted, while Carlos was signed as a free agent. Similar in size, and both played 2B for the bulk of their careers. They both played SS in the minors for at least one full season. 

Carlos was part of a trade for Joe Carter, Roberto was traded with Joe Carter.  

They each played for the Indians, Mets, Padres and Diamondbacks.

Robbie won 4 silver slugger awards, Carlos won 2.

Carlos was washed up at age 27, Robbie was effective until age 33. They both played their last season at age 36.

Two of my favorite players when they were active. I always wondered if Carlos was older than advertised. Or maybe Robbie's speed and better athleticism enabled him to avoid all of the collisions at 2B.

Guest star card. Roberto Alomar (Carlos Baerga)

I think about 95% of guest star cards are on or near 2nd base. Not surprising. Special bonus guest appearance by Mel Harder's number.

"Harder! Harder!"
Mel says "yes?"
"no stupid, do me harder"
Mel says "I am Harder and I'm doing you"
"ARRGH, do me harder Harder!!"

He'd have been a much better pitchman for Viagra.

Guest star cards. Sandy Alomar Jr and Ron Oester (Roberto Alomar)

 If Ron Oester joined the Toastmasters, would he then become Oester, Toaster?

Brotherly love.

Signers. Roberto Alomar.

 Gotta love the headband.

 Bonus card of Robbie getting sawed off.

Guest star card. Roberto Alomar (George Brett)

2 Hall of Famers. They make the beginnings of a pretty good infield.

 Bonus checklist card with Devon White.

Recycled photos and Guest star card.. Roberto Alomar (Sandy Alomar)

It's always a nice touch when the photographer pulls one of these off.

Random cards. Roberto Alomar.

 Gotta love that old school hologram!

I think I could have driven in 100 runs with these guys in the lineup.

Love him or hate him, Robbie is a Hall of Famer. He still gets a lot of hate for the spitting incident, it seems that a lot of people found that completely unforgivable.
