Roberto Alomar was terminated as an MLB consultant and placed on the Ineligible List after an investigation of alleged sexual misconduct in 2014 revealed he violated MLB policies. The Blue Jays put out a statement saying they're terminating ties with him immediately and taking him off the Level of Excellence at Rogers Centre. The Hall of Fame put out a statement saying they'll keep his plaque in Cooperstown since he was enshrined 3 years before all of this happened. Alomar put out a statement saying he's "disappointed, surprised and upset" by the decision.
To make this a card topic, it could potentially mean he won't appear in any future MLB-licensed releases until things get resolved.

Added a Tom Cheek card to this list this morning
https://www.tcdb.com/YourLists.cfm?ACTION=UPDATE
If a Texas Ranger or St. Louis Cardinal gets in hot water in the next couple of days after I added cards to those lists, I'm going to be concerned about my TCDB list making/IRL bad juju 😳 👀😉

I'll wait for due process before I take an opinion on this. People love jumping to conclusions.

I am with you, I am so tired of Guilty till proved innocent. I hope it isnt true but If it is I feel sorry for the victim.

Boy I just pulled 120 of his cards (only a few listed here) for a guy on another site. Was thinking about added them here but was going to wait until he got what he wanted.
Maybe that is why he has not returned my last e-mail (yesterday)

FWIW they did say the investigation was complete and this was part of his punishment. Not a rush to a conclusion, but the outcome of an investigation.
