Great ball player, terrible human being
Its a good thing this game has absolutely nothing to do with his personal life.
It’s an even better thing his disgusting actions are being exposed to the point his personal life will have him removed from a game that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Can you tell me anything about these "disgusting actions" because the Blue Jays and MLB havent said anything. What exactly did he do?

Ty Cobb did much worse. Pretending Roberto Alomar, Jr didn't exist... what are you going to do for the 1992 Blue Jays? Have a random guy in his spot? Pretend he never existed?

You don't have to honor him, but pretending he doesn't exist? Removing all traces?
Sorry, sports don't work that way, especially team sports.
What are you going to do when playing as the 1991 Blue Jays?

But the most outrageous incident might be what happened more than a century ago today. While playing against the Highlanders in New York, Cobb was so incensed by remarks from a heckler named Claude Lucker that he charged into the stands and attacked the man. As Cobb began beating and stomping the man with those razor-sharp cleats that had punished so many basemen, a crew of his teammates held people at bay. Some in the crowd protested, since Lucker had lost all of one hand and most of the other in an industrial accident, and couldn't defend himself with his fists. A cry went up: “Cobb, that man has no hands!” Cobb reportedly yelled back in a psychotic rage, “I don’t care if he got no feet!” Protected by his teammates, the beating went on until a cop and an umpire led Cobb away.

Sexual harassment and assault.
It was sexual misconduct, which could be anything from saying "Hey you look really pretty today" to brushing up against someone walking into a room or actual intentional unwanted touching. They aren't telling us what that misconduct was. Maybe you're totally fine with crucifying someone without knowing the situation but those of us that are normal aren't.

Assault means any unwanted sexual contact.

Give us an Alomar exchange card and call it a day.

You keep saying assault when the media has never used that word in this case. You realize that misconduct and assault arent the same thing, right? So im gonna go out on a limb and say that you know less than zero about this.

doesnt matter if it was assault or misconduct, obviously it was something worth investigating. MLB had a law firm investigate and they found enough evidence to cut ties with him. MLB is a business and if any entity isnt representing the brand the way they want them to then MLB has the right to cut ties. I dont understand how difficult it is for some of you to understand this. MLB is not going to just add a player to the ineligible list for no reason as well as the Blue Jays arent going to go through the hassle of removing him from the stadium for no reason.

I don't wanna get into politics or BS on here, but seriously man bury the card and move on chief. Its not like he's babysitting our kids or anything. Simply remove him from your squad and as Aaron Roger's once said R-E-L-A-X

I just read the Jays are removing his number and banner from Skydome so that's a pretty solid statement.
yea they are removing any ties to him altogether. unrelated but isnt this the same dude that intentionally spit in an umpires face?
That’s correct. Alomar told us what kind of person he is a long time ago imo.

Stop with the cancel culture BS, He hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law so just relax already. It’s just a card in a game If you’re that concerned don’t use the card.
I loathe cancel culture. I mean some of it yeah it’s justified but most of it is so stupid.

this isnt even cancel culture. MLB found out he did something inappropriate and fired him. very simple
-
Does anyone actually even know what he did yet? You can be "sexually inappropriate" by telling s woman she looks great in jeans these days for crying out loud! My goodness whatever happened to letting something play out before being absolutely torched? I hope for all you who are thrashing the guy have never done anything that could be deemed inappropriate these days. If it comes out that he did something foul, then yeah farewell chief. But man until then atleast give it a chance to play out!
-
For all the people saying that telling a woman these days she looks nice could be considered misconduct If you dont know the difference between a compliment and misconduct you are definitely a creep.
