"The switch-hitting Alomar won a record 10 Gold Gloves at second base,
was a 12-time All-Star and a career .300 hitter. Full of baseball
smarts and grace, he’s also linked with one of the game’s most
forgettable moments -- he spit on umpire John Hirschbeck during an
argument in 1996."

So forgettable that it's still being talked about 15 years later?
