	Roberto Alomar Retires. - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		While I haven't examined the case that closely, Alomar in my mind is a hall of famer based on one factor: he played his entire career at second base.
		Alomar and Carter will probably be the first non-"End of Career" Blue Jays to make the Hall of Fame, though both will probably not be on the first ballot.
		Alomar made matters worse afterward by saying he thought Hirschbeck was under stress because his 8-year-old son, John Drew, had died of a rare brain disease in 1993 known as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).
