Timely post, Jason. As a life-long Jays fan, it absolutely *kills* me that Alomar was involved in this incident. Just thinking about it puts a pit in my stomach. That being said, I just finished reading 'Three Finger: The Mordecai Brown Story' a couple days ago and was shocked to read that Joe Tinker, while managing the Columbus Senators, was fined $100 for the exact same action.
