Roberto Alomar has been placed on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list following an investigation of a sexual misconduct incident in 2014.
Alomar, who had been working as a consultant with MLB and was also a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays was immediately terminated from both roles. The Jays, whom he won two World Series Titles with, announced that they will sever all ties with their former Second Baseman. This includes removing a banner that honors his retired #12, and also his name from their ring of honor.
The Baseball Hall of Fame, who inducted Alomar in 2011, will not be removing him. He also will not be expelled by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, but they did state that they would not be inviting him to future events, nor will they do any work with his foundation.
Alomar played 17 seasons in a career spent with San Diego, Toronto, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York (NL), Chicago (AL) and Arizona.
The Kansas City Chiefs made Eric Fisher the First Overall Pick in the 2013 Draft, and the Offensive Lineman made history as the first player from the Mid-American Conference to earn that honor.
Fisher was inserted as the starting Left Tackle, and while he did not achieve the heights that would be expected from a player of that draft stock, the Chiefs did not have to worry about his position for years. Aiding the Chiefs in their Super Bowl LIV win, Fisher went to two Pro Bowls (2018 & 2020) and started all but four of his 117 Games with Kansas City.
Mitchell Schwartz played his first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and while he did well, he was not in that upper tier of Right Tackles. This would change when he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 and would have one of the best four-year stretches of any Offensive Tackle in franchise history, although you would not know it based on his Pro Bowl amounts.
That number, by the way, is zero.
In Schwartz's first four years in Kansas City, he had Approximate Values of 12, 16, 20 & 16, and in the year he had 20 (2018), he was second in the NFL in this metric. While the Pro Bowl voters snubbed him, he was a First Team All-Pro in 2018 and a Second Team selection in the other three years. The Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV, and Schwartz's contributions should never be discounted.
After only playing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Schwartz was released, and retired shortly after. Pro Bowl or not, the Tackle had one of the best runs in Chief history, and hopefully, this is celebrated in the future.
Tyreke Hill had his share of off-field trouble when he was a star at Oklahoma State, and he had to relocate to Western Alabama. Nevertheless, concern about his domestic violence arrest cost him draft spots, which dropped the talented Wide Receiver to the Fifth Round, where he was chosen by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hill had 860 Yards from Scrimmage and was the Chiefs primary Punt Returner, for which he led the NFL in Punt Return Yards (592) and was a First Team All-Pro. He was still returning punts in his second and third campaign but was now starting at Wide Receiver, and has to date eclipsed the 1,100 Yard mark, with his current high being 1,479 in 2018, which became his second First Team All-Pro year. Hill's production dipped below 1,000 Yards in 2019, though that was due primarily to missing four games due to suspension. Regardless, Hill still was a Pro Bowler, and in that year's Super Bowl, he was fantastic, catching nine passes for 105 Yards in their win over San Francisco.
Hill played a sixth and final season with Kansas City, and again was chosen for the Pro Bowl, giving him a clean sweep in terms of his Chiefs tenure. Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022, ending his Chiefs totals to 67 Touchdowns and 8,745 All-Purpose Yards.
