Default Alomar will wear a Jays cap in HOF

Only three players to have ever suited up for the Toronto Blue Jays can be found in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and all of them are wearing another team's cap on their plaque.

Should he find his way to Cooperstown down the road, Roberto Alomar hopes to change that.

"That's my goal," he said Thursday on a conference call announcing his addition to the Blue Jays' Level of Excellence.

"I always say that my best years – even though I had some great years with other teams – nothing can top those two World Series. If one day I get inducted to the Hall of Fame, I would love (it) to be with a Toronto Blue Jays hat."

It's hard to believe that Alomar played less than a third of his career with the Jays, five out of 17 years. He was a career .300 hitter, 10-time Gold Glove winner and an All-Star for 12 straight years.
