Cleveland Indians All-Time Top 20 Hitters in Franchise History

#19: Roberto Alomar

Although Sandy Alomar Jr. spent the majority of his career in Cleveland, Roberto Alomar graced the Indians with his presence for just three years. In those three seasons, he hit .323/.405/.515, smashing 63 home runs and swiping 106 bases.

Alomar was selected as an All-Star 12 times in his career, including in 1998 when he won the All-Star Game MVP Award. The following season, he came to the Indians were he continued his All-Star ways. His career spanned from 1988, when he made his debut with the San Diego Padres, to 2004, when he played his last game with the Chicago White Sox.

In Cleveland, Alomar paired with Omar Vizquel to make what might have been the best middle infield duo of all time. Alomar himself won 10 Gold Glove awards (including all three seasons with the Tribe), as well as four Silver Sluggers (two with the Indians).

Even though his time with the Tribe was shorter than almost anyone else on this list, Alomar deserves the honor. The stellar second baseman helped the Tribe reach the playoffs twice, and earned MVP votes for his 1999 campaign.

Robbie Alomar’s number 12 is retired by the Toronto Blue Jays, and in 2011, he was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame on his second ballot.
