Nine days later, the couple went to a disease specialist who discovered a mass of second baseman retired chest, court documents say.Alomar skin was purple, he was foaming at the mouth and a spinal tap showed that had full blown AIDS, “the suit says.
Charles Bach, Alomar lawyer, called the action frivolous. He said that his client is “healthy and will to the health of the private. We do our talking in court.” Alomar father, Sandy, a bench coach with the New York Met told the Daily News “that is the first time I ever heard about that,” and that if his son was sick “I think I would like to know.”
Alomar was considered one of the greatest second baseman of his time. But better known for spitting in the face of umpire John Hirsch Beck and then tells the referee was under stress due to the death of his son.
